Chapter 617: Progenitor’s Body!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Merlin’s eyes also narrowed slightly as he looked at the tall Progenitor’s Body in the distance. The life force of the Progenitor’s Body made by more than ten thousand Rock Creatures as well as two preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures violently rose to be comparable to the strongest Spell Casters below Legends.
This was a unique joint attack technique of the Rock Tribe. Generally, only a few in the Rock Tribe knew about it but now, more than ten thousand ordinary Rock Creatures knew as well. It seemed that this was something the Rock Tribe Ancestor prepared for the war with the Spell Caster civilization.
“Wizard Merlin, can Wizard Saturn deal with this big guy?”
Arrot looked at Wizard Saturn in front of the Progenitor’s Body with worry. The grandiose life force released by the Progenitor’s Body made everyone feel uneasy.
“Saturn is the strongest Wizard below Legend. As for the big guy in this group… Although its life force is comparable to those below Legend, there are too many holes, and many places can’t harmonize. It’ll be easy for Saturn to deal with the Progenitor’s Body in front of him!”
Merlin replied with confidence.
The Progenitor’s Body formed by ten thousand Rock Creatures plus two preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures could instantly burst with power comparable to those below Legend. This obviously showed the Rock Creatures’ increase in strength.
However, it still could not rival the most powerful being under Legend!
A multicolored light appeared on Saturn’s body, completely enveloping him, looking incomparably sacred. The multicolored light contained world-shaking power, and was Saturn’s strongest power after combining Six-Elemental spells.
“Six-Elemental Storm, go!”
Saturn’s long hair fluttered in the wind. With a loud roar, the multicolored light instantly turned into a shockwave and swelled wildly, almost enveloping the entire Tanloan City in it.
The Progenitor’s Body was not to be undone. It raised a heavy arm and launched a punch toward Saturn. In the showdown between one big and one small, it was ten thousand Rock Creatures against Saturn alone.
“Boom!”
The earth-shattering force tore s.p.a.ce to shreds, and formed pitch-black pa.s.sages. Their destructive force had already caught up to Great Legends. After all, both were the strongest beings below Legend.
As the shockwave spread out and dissipated, and the air quietened down again, Saturn’s eyes looked very calm. He did not have any intention of making another move, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile.
“Crack.”
After a moment, small cracks started appearing on the giant Progenitor’s Body. It started from the chest and rapidly spread to the rest of the body like a spiderweb. It was shocking and horrible to see.
“Bang.”
Finally, the Progenitor’s Body could no longer sustain itself and collapsed loudly. Countless Rock Creatures were reduced into tiny gravel that almost piled up into a hill.
As for the two preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures, their eyes were full of shock. “The strongest being under Legends… A Spell Caster from Arcane City. Amazing, truly amazing.”
Then, the two preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures could no longer sustain themselves, and instantly shattered into countless pieces on the ground.
Mystic Squad, which had retreated far away long ago, were stunned by the pile of gravel on the ground as well as that imposing figure standing in the air.
“The strongest being under Legend. He’s the strongest being under Legend… Haha, Arcane City. This is the true Potential Wizard in Arcane City! We’ll no longer be in a disadvantage from now on.”
There were three peak Great Wizards among the Spell Casters in Mystic Squad, so they naturally heard of Arcane City before. They only knew that all Potential Wizards in Arcane City were geniuses but no one had any specific knowledge of those “geniuses”.
However, now, Saturn alone had killed more than twenty thousand Rock Creatures, and destroyed the firm Tanloan City. At this moment, the Wizards in Mystic Squad truly realized how frightening Saturn was, and how terrifying Saturn’s team was.
The strongest existence below Legend was almost invincible as long as Legends did not intervene! In their situation, such power was enough to reverse their disadvantage in the front line battles.
At the very least, they would have a very large chance of reversing the situation in the Seely Dimension. They could completely expel the Rock Tribe from the Seely Dimension, and regain the Seely Dimension back into Spell Caster hands.
“Haha, Saturn, if not for you this time, we might really have been in trouble. I couldn’t have dealt with that big guy earlier! Who would have thought that the Rock Tribe would disseminate the joint attack technique? Or perhaps I should say, who would have thought that all the Rock Creatures sent to the front line would have the joint attack technique? That battle would have been very troublesome.”
Rael expressed his concern. In fact, the other Spell Casters also had this concern. The Rock Tribe must have done it, otherwise, the joint attack technique would never end in the hands of twenty thousand ordinary Rock Creatures.
Presently, there was only one explanation. In this war between the Rock Tribe and the Spell Caster civilization, they had been actively plotting and scheming. They had prepared for a very long time, and all their preparations were thorough.
The Rock Tribe only needed five Rock Creatures that could use the joint attack technique to form the Progenitor’s Body. The stronger the Rock Creature’s individual power, the stronger the Progenitor’s Body that was formed. This increase would be large enough to rival Spell Caster’ special and powerful Runic Magic Circles.
However, this kind of Runic Magic Circle was rare. It required certain attainments in Runology to be able to master it, and was far more complicated than the Rock Tribe’s joint attack technique.
This was especially true for the joint attack technique in a powerful Rock Creature’s hands. For example, a Progenitor’s Body formed by a few preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures, and was led by a powerful being under Legend could burst with power comparable to Great Legends!
“Haha, Saturn, I’m afraid it’ll be hard for our team to find an opponent in the Seely Dimension. Why don’t we take advantage of this period to easily sweep the entire Seely Dimension, and completely occupy the Seely Dimension?”
Wizard Rael’s eyes flashed as he said loudly.
“My thoughts exactly…”
Saturn glanced at Merlin and then laughed. “I didn’t expect Wizard Merlin to have hidden his power so deeply, and cultivated Darkness Eye all the way to its sixth form. However, that’s a good thing. Now, we have four peak Great Wizards. If Arrot can combine a Five-Elemental spell, he’ll instantly become a peak Great Wizard! Our strength will be enough to sweep the entire Seely Dimension.”
Merlin smiled but remained silent. In a cruel civilization war, it was always better to hide power than reveal it. Darkness Eye used to be considered as Merlin’s strongest power. However, following his breakthrough in Mind Power, his Hallucinating Spells had also made great progress. In addition, his Spell Caster level had risen to the Ninth-level so Darkness Eye had become his weakest power instead.
Therefore, Merlin could continue to hide his strength by using Darkness Eye. There really was no force that could hinder Saturn in the Seely Dimension, so it was not necessary for Merlin to reveal his power.
“Sweep the entire Seely Dimension?”
Mystic Squad’s eyes also revealed a pleasant surprise. Before they arrived at Tanloan City, they still did not believe Saturn’s words. However, after personally seeing Saturn and the others’ terrifying power, they no longer had any concerns.
“Wizard Saturn, let our Mystic Squad some along with you. Our understanding of the Seely Dimension is clearer than yours. We know of some powerful Rock Tribe strongholds.”
Wizard Beyna from Mystic Squad pleaded earnestly.
“We also need your help. Otherwise, we don’t know how many pointless trips we’ll take in such a large Seely Dimension.”
Saturn also did not refuse. With Mystic Squad leading the way, they could sweep all Rock Tribe strongholds in the Seely Dimension in the shortest time possible.
Thus, days pa.s.sed one after another, and a month pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
The Seely Dimension was huge, and the Rock Tribe had made thorough preparations. Therefore, even with the most conservative estimate, there were at least twenty strongholds in the Seely Dimension.
Each stronghold was extremely powerful or perhaps even stronger than Tanloan City. However, under Mystic Team’s lead, Saturn and the others destroyed one stronghold almost every few days. So far, eleven strongholds had been annihilated.
These strongholds were very difficult to deal with. There were six preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures, and more than fifty thousand ordinary Rock Creatures. Perhaps because the news had been leaked out, the Rock Creatures in these strongholds had long been ready. They left Saturn and the others without the chance to launch a sneak attack hence they could only forcefully fight it head-on.
That battle had lasted for three days. Saturn had fought the Progenitor’s Body formed by the Rock Creatures in that stronghold for more than two days before finally catching an opening, and completely defeating the Progenitor’s Body.
That battle let Saturn and the others put away their contempt, and grow unusually careful. Even their speed had slowed a lot, they still went to weed out the Rock Tribe’s strongholds one after another. In the Seely Dimension, most places had fallen into the hands of the Spell Casters.
Furthermore, because Saturn’s Six-Elemental spell fusion formed multiple colors, the group Saturn had led began to be known as the Rainbow Squad. The name caused a huge sensation among the Rock Tribe and Spell Caster civilization in the Seely Dimension.
This was especially true for the Spell Caster civilization. After discovering that the Rainbow Squad were the first batch of Potential Wizards from Setoh Arcane City, the Spell Casters’ morale soared, and they began to take the initiative to enter the Seely Dimension to press hard against the Rock Tribe.
It was unknown if it was because of the advantages of the Seely Dimension or due to the strength of the Potential Wizards from Arcane City, after they had arrived at the front line, the situation in dimensions in the front line except for the Seely Dimension all began to reverse. The Spell Casters switched from defending to attacking, and the general circ.u.mstances were all very good.
However, this was only the arrival of Potential Wizards from one of the Arcane Cities, Setoh Arcane City. There were still two great Arcane Cities that had not sent any Potential Wizards.
This directly showed that the legacy of Spell Caster civilization from three thousand years ago was also extraordinary to compare with the legacy of foreign tribes from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago.
…
In a palace floating in the air, one of the great Rock Progenitors, praised at the first, and known as Progenitor Hanra, sat in the palace and watched the situation on the front line closely.
Soon, a tall Rock Creature wearing golden armor entered the palace respectfully. He knelt on the ground and shouted, “Great Progenitor, what are your orders?”
Seeing the golden-armored Rock Creature on the round, Progenitor Hanra slowly said, “Eli, how’s your Progenitor Squad?”
“Honorable Progenitor, the Progenitor Squad has been successfully formed. It’s led by me personally in addition to six preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures. Once the Progenitor’s true body is formed, it can rival a true Ancestor-level!”
The golden-armored Rock Creature replied respectfully.
Progenitor Hanra’s mouth revealed a smile as he nodded with satisfaction. “Good, we’ve prepared for such a long time so we mustn’t fall short at the beginning! I have a mutual agreement with Setoh not to let Legends get involved, and let beings like you under Ancestor-level to try instead. If we can occupy or control the Seely Dimension, then even if the war expands in the future, it wouldn’t matter as we’d certainly be able to have the advantage!
“Recently, the Spell Caster civilization had mobilized Potential Wizards from an Arcane City. Arcane City is known as a sacred place for the Spell Caster civilization. All the Spell Casters there are geniuses among geniuses. The leader of the Rainbow Squad who had appeared in the Seely Dimension should be similar to you. You’re both the strongest beings under Ancestor-level. You can’t deal with him alone. This time, take your Progenitor Squad with you to the Seely Dimension, kill the Rainbow Squad, and completely regain the initiative!”
The golden-armored Rock Creature fiercely raised his head and shouted, “Don’t worry, Great Progenitor, my Progenitor Squad will annihilate the Rainbow Squad and regain control over the Seely Dimension!”
“Good, then go prepare. The quicker, the better!”
Progenitor Hanra waved his hand, and the golden-armored Rock Creature silently withdrew.
“Rainbow Squad? I’ll make you a stepping stone for my Progenitor Squad’s fame. The Progenitor Squad will make you, cowardly Spell Casters, tremble in fear…”
The golden-armored Rock Creature looked at the azure sky outside the palace, and a gleam of excitement flashed in his narrow eyes.
