Activate Step One: Army of Destruction in the Shadows

Mission Content: Investigate the Army of Destruction near the crack . Determine their motive .

Mission Reward: 40 Jogu

Seeing this reward, Link's heart jumped . He'd made a promise with the Travel Magician to exchange 300 Jogu for the way to fully fix the realm crack . Skinorse had sent someone to bring him some Jogu recently . Now, he had 273 . If he had these additional 40, he would be able to solve the problem completely .

In this case, Link accepted without hesitation .

During this time, the airs.h.i.+p had risen to two miles in the air . The range of Celine's large fire gun was 2 . 5 miles . This height was perfect, with some s.p.a.ce for sudden changes .

She took out five Thorium bullets and pressed them one by one into the gun . Aiming at the Dark Elf Magicians in the distance, Celine said, "Shooter in position!"

"Fighters prepare," Link ordered again .

All pa.s.sengers on the airs.h.i.+p had been trained . They weren't very familiar, but all were above Level-8 . Their brains worked quickly, and voices sounded within half a minute .

"Magicians are in place! Airs.h.i.+p vector defense force field activated! Magic cannon charging, complete in 20 seconds . "

"Warriors in place!"

"Cannons in place . Ready to fire!"

Link felt the Mana within the entire airs.h.i.+p . It seemed to be bubbling, but it was stable overall . This was the result of using many new spells . After ensuring that the s.h.i.+p was in perfect state, he said to Merlin, "Approach target . Prepare to attack!"

"Yes . "

Merlin turned to give his crew a series of orders . The airs.h.i.+p had entered combat state .

Link didn't stay in his position during this . He didn't check the magic projection in the command cabin . Instead, he walked to the window and used his naked eye to observe the ground .

The lake below was very wide, more than six miles in diameter . There were many small islands in the center . Those Dark Elf Magicians were there . From his position, Link could see six Magicians in a circle . Thick Mana waves rippled from them . He could sense that each was above Level-7 .

There was a stone tablet before each Dark Elf Magician . The tablets were covered in dark purple light that connected the tablets like a belt . Looking from the sky, he could see a dark purple six-point star .

Obvious Mana waves came from the star . He could see a 600-feet-wide pure black matter hovering in the center of the star .

What was pure black matter? It was something that light could enter but never come out of . The most direct characteristic was that it was darker than anything around it . It was an abnormally pure blackness .

Inside it, Link sensed a horribly distorted s.p.a.ce . He looked down at the Eye of the Realm bracelet on his wrist . The crystal had a weak red glow . This meant that there was a pa.s.sage to another realm here . The pure black matter must…was probably the exit to that pa.s.sage .

Since it could activate the Eye of the Realm, this meant that the Dark Elves were probably summoning some powerful existence . It would be bad news if they succeeded .

So he had to stop them .

But for some reason, Link felt that something was wrong . It was like he'd missed something when calculating earlier .

What's the problem? Link stared at the magic seal on the island, brows slightly furrowed .

At this time, Merlin reported loudly, "Lord, we've arrived at the attack position!"

His voice shook Link awake . He thought for half a second and then ordered, "Shooters attack at will . Magic cannons, prepare!"

The magic cannon was the most powerful and most large-scale weapon on the airs.h.i.+p . Its core was a meteorite Gildern had found from the Free Trade Confederation black market in the South . The original idea came from one of the Mage Tower's apprentices called Akeers . After Link, Eliard, and the others perfected it through deep research, it resulted in this magic cannon .

Its range reached three miles, and its attacks reached Level-16 . One attack could cover 1000 feet in diameter . After recharging, it could fire three times consecutively . On this moving platform, it was Ferde's most powerful weapon .

Celine started shooting as soon as Link gave the order .

Bang! With the gunshot, a white-gold beam shot down from the airs.h.i.+p . It crossed almost two miles instantly and shot into a Dark Elf Magician's head .

The crystalized Thorium bullet was at Level-13 and had impressive anti-magic elements . It should be able to break through any defense barrier in Firuman .

But then something happened .

When the white-gold arc was 150 feet from the magic seal, a huge lattice s.h.i.+eld made of many runes suddenly appeared . It shone faintly with a blue glow . After appearing, it easily blocked Celine's attack . This shockingly penetrative bullet hit it and disappeared without a ripple like a leaf falling into water .

Seeing this, everyone on the s.h.i.+p widened their eyes . Someone even gasped, muttering reflexively, "How is this possible?"

Everyone in Ferde knew how powerful Celine's fire gun and especially the Thorium bullets were . Link had created the Thorium bullet, but many Magicians had partic.i.p.ated in the design process . To Magicians, these bullets were the kryptonite for magic barriers .

But now, it was easily blocked by a s.h.i.+eld . This was incomprehensible .

Link squinted at the s.h.i.+eld . His vision was shocking . The collision had happened quickly, but he'd seen every detail . With his bottomless magic knowledge now, he figured out the s.h.i.+eld's general operation mode after thinking for a little bit .

"This s.h.i.+eld is interesting . It isn't strong in itself, but there are many latent magic seals 150 feet around the s.h.i.+eld . They can quickly absorb the energy of attacks and use it to strengthen the s.h.i.+eld . The stronger the attack, the stronger the s.h.i.+eld . "

"Lord, will our cannons be unable to get through too?" a Magician asked .

"Not sure, but the situation is very strange . Use the cannons for unexpected events . Don't use them too casually . " Link trained his eyes on the magic seal . A few seconds of silence later, he smiled . "This s.h.i.+eld is powerful, but there is a fatal flaw . Watch me . "

He continued, "Felina, you all follow me to the deck . "

"Yes, Lord . "

The weakest of the eight Red Dragon Warriors was at the pinnacle of Level-8 . Felina herself was at the pinnacle of Level-9 . In addition, dragons had extreme recovery rates . This was a powerful force .

Arriving at the deck, Link said, "Transform into dragon form . I need your dragon breath flames!"

The eight Warriors jumped up . When they were 300 feet above the deck, a red light flashed past . Eight young dragons over 150 feet long appeared . They formed a circle and looked down at Link, waiting for his order .

Link stood on the deck and raised the Ode of a Full Moon sword . Mana surged into it . Half a second later, a six-foot-wide Spatial Distortion sphere appeared at the tip . It started rising .

"Blow fire at this with all your might for at least 20 seconds!" he ordered .

Roar! The eight dragons started at the same time . Eight thick beams of fire spewed from their mouths, burying into the sphere . They all wanted to show off their power before Link, so they used all their strength . Everyone lasted for 25 seconds . Felina even maintained it for 35 seconds .

When Felina finished, Link's Spatial Distortion sphere had turned into a blue "lava" sphere . It kept vibrating and spinning . It seemed unstable as if it could explode any time .

The eight dragons were all shocked . They could clearly see the power contained within the thing . If it exploded within the airs.h.i.+p, it could blow it to smithereens . If they were hit, they would be cremated directly .

They all subconsciously moved away from the dark blue lava sphere .

Link took a deep break, focusing his thoughts . "Singularity transformation!" he whispered .

Around 500 points of his Realm Essence followed the Ode of a Full Moon to the sphere . Under the restraint of this force, the huge "lava" sphere instantly shrunk to the size of a sesame seed . It didn't glow either . If one didn't pay attention, one wouldn't notice its existence .

Then Link reached out and grasped the tiny thing with horrible power .

"Okay, you can come down . " Link walked to the edge of the deck with the thing and ordered Celine, "Listen to my orders . Be prepared to shoot at any time!"

"Understood . "

Link threw the tiny sphere down towards the island . When it was around 300 feet from the s.h.i.+eld, Link suddenly said, "Shoot!"

Bang! A white-gold arc flew down . An instant later, the blue s.h.i.+eld appeared again with a soft buzz . Here, Link used his thoughts to activate the Spatial Distortion sphere .

That moment, everyone on the airs.h.i.+p saw a blinding flash on the lake . They were all forced to squint .

After the blue light faded, the Dark Elves, magic stone tablets, and even the island had disappeared . All that could prove that the island had once existed was a bubbling patch of lava on the lake's surface .

The entire island had melted!

That moment, Dark Magician Glyn felt something from hundreds of miles away . Furrowing his brows, he said to Molina, "The trap in the lake has failed . He already undid my s.h.i.+eld . "

"That fast? Is his power damaged?" Molina frowned slightly . She didn't think to use the s.h.i.+eld to defeat Link . She'd only wanted to weaken him and raise the chance of success . Now, it seemed that it hadn't been effective . The opponent's feelings hadn't been affected by the demons at all . They were still terrifyingly calm .

How can there be such a frightening Magician in the world? Dammit! A shred of doubt appeared in Molina's heart . Would their carefully prepared plan… No, she couldn't think that . Her master's wisdom was boundless . If he attacked personally, that mortal would definitely die!

Glyn shook his head . "It only took three seconds . He didn't use brute force to undo it . Instead, he used a tiny flaw in the s.h.i.+eld's Mana cycle . This trap probably didn't weaken him . "

Molina let out a long sigh, pus.h.i.+ng down her worries . "The Ferde lord is definitely troublesome, but our magic seal is the true tactic . Glyn, go get ready . "

"As you wish, Saint . " Glyn bowed to Molina . His body blurred and then disappeared .
