Emperor of Arcane

Matthew's voice kept echoing in the narrow passage.

Hess stared at Matthew's chest and saw a little bit of disbelief flashing in his eyes when he saw the blood gradually stopped gushing.

He slowly turned the hilt of the sword, raised the nearly two-meter-long bright sword again, and charged towards Matthew with a lunge.

Hess never talks nonsense, the sword is language, and the sword energy is sound.

Whoops!

Hess's speed was extremely fast, so fast that he only left an afterimage in the air.

The hand he showed alone had at least a legendary peak agility attribute of 35 points.

Facing the sword that struck head-on, Matthew did not try to parry, but turned sideways as quickly as possible, clinging to the steel wall.

Buzz!

Hess did not catch up with Matthew and continue to swing his sword. Instead, he slashed at the spot where Matthew had been standing.

The surging sword energy let out a roar that cut through the air.

Faced with the bombardment of the scorching sun, the steel passage failed to cause much damage. Faced with the cutting force of the invisible energy, a deep gap was instantly opened.

It's absolutely terrifying!

Matthew, who turned sideways and leaned against the wall, did not look at the effect of Hess's attack. Instead, he slashed at the empty left hand with his knife.

Bang!

A cloud of sparks suddenly splashed into the air, and a bright sword suddenly appeared in the air.

The sharp and strong ghost knife was split open.

The sharp sword energy surged towards Matthew like a tide.

Bang!

The thunder shield lit up with rushing ripples, consuming a considerable amount of thunder power.

Fortunately, the thunder shield withstood the frontal collision of the sword energy and pushed it to both sides.

The aftermath of the sword energy pierced the iron wall beside Matthew, tearing open sword marks one after another.

The power of the thunder was consumed a lot, but Matthew did not panic at all. Looking at Hess who quickly stepped back to remove the impact, he shouted in a loud voice:

"Is that it?"

Feeling the stinging pain in his wrist, Hess narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The heart has been pierced and broken, so why can we continue to fight?"

"The flames of hypocrisy will continue to burn the wound. Even if he has the secret technique of heart regeneration, it will not be effective."

"Could it be that he used time magic?"

"The reaction speed is very fast, and the experience in close combat is extremely rich..."

"The power is so strong...this armor is indeed extraordinary..."

"Arcanists are really troublesome!!"

Slowly turning the hilt of the sword, it brought up a stream of light in the air.

Just as Hess was about to continue testing, Matthew had already rushed over, raised the ghost knife high, and struck it down hard.

Feeling the violent wind rushing towards him, Hess raised his sword and faced it.

Matthew slashed with his sword. The moment the ghost sword and the long sword came into contact, nothing was hit.

On the contrary, there was a huge threat, suddenly coming from mid-air on the right.

This is the secret skill that the Cole Elf Sword Master is famous for - Light and Shadow Clone Slash!

The Light and Shadow Clone Slash allows the Cole Elf Sword Master's true body and hidden clone to be switched at any time.

When you think this is his fake body and don't take any precautions.

The sharp long sword and the indestructible sword energy will take away your life in an instant.

When you fully defend the body in front of you and ignore other aspects of defense.

The sword that penetrated Matthew's heart as soon as he stepped into the mage tower would fall on you.

What's more, even if you complete the fate-gamble judgment and find the true identity of the sword master.

That sharp and fatal sword is definitely not something that can be blocked even if you try to block it!

What's even more frightening is that Light and Shadow Clone Slash is not a skill that consumes a lot of money, it is a passive ability of the Cole Elf Sword Master.

Passive abilities of legendary feats!

I can’t say that there is no consumption, I can only say that the consumption is really very small!

Matthew suddenly clenched his fist and slashed without stopping, cutting the clone of Hess Sword Master into pieces.

Flashing thunder and lightning burst out from his breastplate.

Flying into the air like a poisonous snake!

"It's difficult to solve this problem by cutting each other with kitchen knives, but it's not difficult to use magic!"

Wow!

The jumping thunder and lightning hit the Sword Master Hess in mid-air.

The strong fighting spirit on his body condensed into a physical armor, blocking the surging thunder.

The bright and dazzling sword was aimed at Matthew's head and chopped off hard.

Fighting armor!

A skill only possessed by legendary melee professionals, possessing extraordinary defense and toughness.

It can withstand most physical and mage attacks and stabilize attack, dodge, and escape movements.

"Sure enough, the members of the Cole Elf Shadow Council are ruthless in their actions and are not sloppy at all!"

Matthew sighed silently in his heart, becoming even more wary of the Cole elf with a strong family background and strong strength.

However, Matthew did not show too much panic when facing the attack of Sword Master Hess, but calmly issued the order:

"Unleash the Spell - Resist the Ring of Fire!"

A ring of spreading flames appeared on the back of the Thunder Armor's hand. The extremely powerful impact pushed the Hess Sword Master back.

Resist Ring of Fire is one of spellcasters' favorite spells!

Not only does it provide decent damage, but it also performs a strength knockback against agile and assassin-type enemies that they cannot save against.

The burning flames only consumed a little bit of Hess Sword Master's fighting spirit, but directly destroyed his offensive.

With a bit of coldness in his eyes, Sword Master Hess maintained a high degree of patience.

There was no fluctuation in his heart and he continued to attack around Matthew.

The cost of Light and Shadow Clone Slash is very small, but the benefits are very large, and there is no need to expose his other trump cards. This is why Hess Sword Master likes it very much.

The more important point is that every attack of the Light and Shadow Clone Slash can consume the opponent's defense methods again and again.

In this way, Hess can put tremendous mental pressure on the opponent.

Matthew also showed great patience, relying on his advantage in strength confrontation, endless spells, and the combat assistance provided by the Thunder Armor to fight with the Hess Sword Master.

When it comes to protracted warfare, Matthew possesses dual talents from past and present lives!

The members of the Church of Eternal Life outside noticed the Sword Master Hess fighting with Matthew, and had a vague premonition in their hearts.

The Hive Tyrant controlled by the Blood God Haka just now was unable to achieve success in the protracted battle with Matthew, and even fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing Hess Sword Master's unhurried attacks now will inevitably make them feel nervous that they will repeat the same mistakes.

This idea in their hearts soon began to take root, and they decisively began to manipulate the Blood God Haka to continue attacking the interior of the Mage Tower!

Blood God Haka was very angry, roaring and tearing down the constructs one by one.

He can clearly feel the "malintention" of the Eternal Church.

Now that I can control the consciousness carrier, I might be able to control the real body next!

Although this probability is very small, Blood God Haka also has his own pride, but he really doesn't dare to gamble!

Once he loses the bet, it is a trivial matter to continue to fall into eternal sleep. Anyway, he will wake up one day.

But if they were controlled by the Eternal Church and became their "slave", then for Blood God Haka, he would rather die!

Blood God Haka has seen the power of human beings and knows how terrifying they are, and he absolutely does not dare to take them lightly.

But now he had no choice but to vent his power crazily and complete body transformation to consume the energy in his body as quickly as possible.

Even so, after Blood God Haka's calculations, even if he secretly injected all his power into the transformation of the recovery ability.

With the current defensive strength of the mage tower, it is no longer able to resist the impact of its current power.

Annie couldn't help but look back, and the whispers in her ears immediately became noisy.

The emerald green leaf necklace on her chest emitted a dazzling light, and it took a while for her to return to normal.

However, she once again confirmed that the seal was complete. While breathing a sigh of relief, she silently stared at the destruction device not far away.

Once the Hive Tyrant arrives outside the gate, Anne will activate it without hesitation.

The consciousness carrier of Blood God Haka is so terrifying and powerful.

All the spells and devices in the Mage Tower that can kill legendary professionals have no effect on him.

Once its true form escapes, it will definitely cause devastating damage to the entire eastern province.

It's not that Anne has a great spirit of sacrifice, but it's her responsibilities and obligations as an arcanist, a professional, the lord of the Netheril Empire, and the lord of Bloodmoon City.

Despite the many shortcomings of the Netheril Empire, the education of noble lords about the responsibility of defending the land and protecting the people has never fallen behind.

After all, the Grand Arcanist and members of the Council always need more "cannon fodder" to work for them.

Bang!

After the violent collision, Matthew stood still, watching the Hess Sword Master adjusting his breathing, swung the ghost sword that made more than 10 holes, and said calmly:

"You can't stop me, if that's all you have!"

Matthew's words were calm and calm. Even though the thunder armor on his body was scarred and his mana had been depleted, his tone was still full of confidence.

Sword Master Hess did not appear particularly angry, and continued to swing the sword in his hand as if he had not heard anything.

Except for the Light and Shadow Clone Slash, no other combat techniques have been used.

Matthew was already exhausted. It could be said that he had a sure chance of victory. Why was he still anxious?

Matthew glanced at the ghost blade in his hand, with a little regret in his eyes, "Smash it," and then said:

"Come on, let me see what else you can do, right?"

After hearing this, Sword Master Hess did not change his attack method as Matthew said.

He swung the sword step by step and continued to chop the ghost blade in Matthew's hand.

As long as it can be destroyed, Matthew will have to use other methods to defend in the next battle, and he will collapse as quickly as possible.

Matthew was still swinging his sword at the rushing Hess Sword Master as before.

The Hess Sword Master directly in front was chopped into pieces, and a fierce attack ushered in from the right side.

The bright sword struck Matthew's raised arm.

Sword Master Hess is still activating his sword energy with all his strength as before!

Poof!

The sharp sword energy passed through the body, and in the slight surprise of Sword Master Hess, it turned into tiny flickering fragments.

"phantom?"

"This is impossible!"

Sword Master Hess recalled the feeling just now. He could clearly feel that Matthew must have been his true form before he was hit by him!

But at this moment, Matthew's figure had appeared inside the passage.

He turned around with a smile, waved to the frightened Sword Master Hess, and got in without hesitation.

The Sword Master Hess rushed towards him at extremely fast speeds, only to run into a package that was emitting sparks.

Magic explosive bag!

Light it on fire!

The terrifying flames bloomed instantly, and the waves of destruction spread wantonly around.

Sword Master Hess, whose expression changed greatly, retreated quickly, and the entire passage collapsed with a "rumbling" explosion.

After a while.

When the smoke gradually dissipated, Sword Master Hess coughed slightly and walked out of the golden magic shield.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the messy passage, stared at the dark hole with resentful and angry eyes, and chased after him without hesitation.

Feeling the violent impact, pushing the body forward quickly.

Matthew can clearly feel the strength of the Thunder Armor and the adaptability of the body, and there is still room for improvement.

Although this kind of lethality is large, the explosion effect with small penetrating power and single-point destructive power cannot pose any threat to Matthew at all.

However, Matthew felt a little pity.

This method can only be used once at most. Next time if you want to plot against Hess Sword Master, you will have to use other methods.

The little surprise just now should make Hess Sword Master more interested and attract him firmly.

He wanted to kill Matthew quickly, and Matthew had the same idea!

The threat of the Sword Master of Hess is very strong, and Matthew is definitely more than one in the Elven Kingdom of Cole.

Because of this, Matthew definitely wants to seize this rare opportunity and get rid of one of them!

Why not give it a try?

What if it succeeds?

Boom!

A violent sound in the distance came from the dark passage.

Matthew, who was sprinting with all his strength, felt the strange pollution ability of Blood God Haka again.

Fortunately, Matthew specially reserved part of his mana and thunder power reserves to fight against the all-pervasive pollution of the Blood God Haka.

How to combat physical pollution will become an urgent problem for Matthew and the Gulf leaders!

Just resisting from the spiritual level is not enough!

Noticing Matthew's arrival, Blood God Haka, who was already a little desperate, suddenly let out a surging roar.

He pushed his body with all his strength, making it taller, and gave up on the last dozen or so construct golems, and began to attack Matthew instead.

The Hessian Sword Master from behind was in hot pursuit, and the Blood God Haka from the front was outflanking him. Matthew seemed to have no way to escape.

However, he just calmly raised the ghost blade full of gaps as he did before, and slashed it down hard at the Blood God Haka!

Whoops!

Amid the violent sound of breaking through the air, Blood God Haka's eyes flashed with a dazzling red light.

He forcibly suppressed his twisted desire to survive, and in the process of roaring crazily and fighting against the altar for control, he kept his huge and twisted body motionless.

Matthew noticed this strange scene and decisively seized the opportunity to attack with all his strength.

Swinging the broken ghost blade with all its strength, it cut into the neck of Blood God Haka with a "puff".

Two-thirds of the entire neck was cut off, and the entire body was trembling in pain and twisting.

In the end, the ferocious head could not be chopped off with a single knife. Two twisted palms instinctively grabbed the broken ghost blade.

The members of the Church of Eternal Life, sensing that something was wrong, used all their strength to activate the altar, which had little remaining power, and completed control of the body of Blood God Haka.

The pursuing Sword Master Hess suddenly saw Matthew attacking with all his strength, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He held the long sword tightly with both hands, and with a strong gust of wind, he aimed at Matthew's back as fast as lightning.

The secret skill of the Sword Master - Wind Stab!

call out! call out!

The sound of the sword cutting through the air instantly pierced Matthew's body.

Part of the violent sword energy even pierced the chest of Blood God Haka, breaking open bloody holes that were deep enough to show the bones.

Such a violent blow demonstrated the unparalleled terrifying destructive power of the Hess Sword Master.

pity!

He didn't hit Matthew!

At some point, Matthew, who had already passed the body of Blood God Haka, rushed twenty or thirty meters away.

What shocked Sword Master Hess was that the body that disappeared into dots of light and shadow after being attacked by him actually emitted very familiar fluctuations.

That's right, it's the light and shadow clone slash he has been performing just now!

Matthew had secretly learned it without Sword Master Hess noticing.

And at this critical moment, he performed it easily, even more amazingly than what he had mastered.

"This is impossible!"

The shocked Sword Master Hess was just about to chase Matthew.

A twisted mass of blood sprang out from Blood God Haka's body and bit him hard.

Bang!

Sword Master Hess retreated quickly, swung his sword to split the whip that was swept away, a trace of surprise and resentment flashed in his eyes:

"These idiots from the Eternal Life Church actually want to attack me. Are they planning to use me as a sacrifice?"

"You idiots with fantastic whims, you deserve to die!"

With this thought in mind, Sword Master Hess quickly ran towards the outside of the ruins.

The unresponsive members of the Church of Eternal Life struggled to regain control of the Blood God Haka, unaware that a disaster was imminent.

In particular, several bishops who took action with all their strength showed extremely perverted smiles and controlled the Blood God Haka to rush towards the deepest part of the Mage Tower.

"After unlocking the seal, we can control him..."

"At that time, we can draw away his divinity and divine power little by little, and slowly transform it into our own power."

"Yes, those idiots from the Cole elves have already tried it and achieved great success. Otherwise, how could they have so many..."

"Shut up, don't let anyone else hear you!"

"..."

The guys became more and more excited as they talked, and they could not wait to urge the Blood God Haka to rush into the deepest part of the Mage Tower.

Anne was somewhat stunned as she watched Matthew running wildly across the road.

She never expected that Matthew would actually force his way into the mage tower.

If it were before today, no matter how good her and Matthew's relationship with the Gulf Territory was, they would not have allowed him to enter the deepest part of the mage tower.

But now, Anne, who was no longer afraid of death, opened the door very decisively.

At the same time, Anne also released the last batch of high-level war puppets.

They were the ones that had been dug out of the swamp ruins before, and Anne spent a lot of money to study, dismantle, repair and transform them.

Now, it's time to test their combat effectiveness.

They don't need to be able to defeat the Blood God Hakkar, as long as they can delay it a little longer.

Looking at these war puppets that looked like Death 2000, Matthew said under Annie's somewhat stunned gaze:

"The combination of chain saw and flamethrower is quite good, but it lacks long-range weapons..."

Giving him a stern look, Anne waved her hand and closed the heavy door again. Amidst the continuous roars of Blood God Haka, she activated the complex protective circle and said angrily:

"Okay, now you can only die with me."

"What are you thinking about? Why do you want to come to this place of death?"

Matthew looked at the interior space nonchalantly and noticed a large array pattern and the strange sealing crystal emitting red light in the center. He replied very calmly:

"Tell me how to deal with this big guy? You should have a backup plan."

Anne gave Matthew a complicated look. Anne, who thought she had a rather strange personality, also felt that she couldn't figure out what Matthew was thinking at the moment.

After sighing, she replied helplessly:

"There is a self-destruction program inside the mage tower, which is powerful enough to destroy the seal and kill him together with him in the sealed state."

"By the way, the mage tower can also be destroyed together with more than three levels of underground ruins. At least half of the ruins excavated in Blood Moon City will be destroyed..."

When she said this, even Anne, who had been prepared for it, could feel a little bit of heartache and helplessness.

If there was no choice, how could we have this final plan?

"Self-destruct program?"

After carefully reviewing the memories in his mind, Matthew finally knew where those dilapidated ruins and chaotic roads came from.

It must have been destroyed by the self-destruct program, which destroyed this place together...

Matthew connected the fate of Blood Moon City, the death of Lord Anne, the conspiracy of the Eternal Church, the coalition of orcs and barbarians, and the mage tower, and couldn't help but "smash it":

"Unconsciously, we have provoked so many enemies..."

Matthew just took one look and could confirm that the self-destruction program in front of him was indeed very scary.

The reason is simple, it is a "big bomb" composed of a broken Mythra core!

Mythra's Core!

The most important core device used to build the floating city!

It can continuously extract elements and energy from the magic network and the surroundings.

It is like a luminous transparent crystal composed of tens of thousands of tiny threads.

The extremely fine silk threads are engraved with extremely subtle magic lines.

These threads, which cannot be distinguished from reality or nothingness, are moving in a huge sphere.

The spherical frame made of countless rare metals was densely engraved with many magic circle patterns that even Matthew didn't recognize.

Of course, Matthew, who now "sees" this scene, will naturally use millions of powers of destiny to record them firmly without hesitation.

Bloody light flows in the middle of the thread.

Just the scattered aftermath will give people a distorted feeling.

Its core part is damaged, and it should be a waste product that failed to be made.

"I didn't expect that the Yaoyue family would be so courageous and actually prepare to build a floating city..."

Seeing Matthew's careful expression, Anne didn't dare to look directly at the seal like him. She glanced at the battle golem fighting the Blood God Haka outside and explained without hesitation:

"My ancestor failed to be promoted to Grand Arcanist, but he was unwilling to give up, so he mobilized the entire family to try to build a Mythra Core."

"Unfortunately, he succeeded and failed."

"In addition to the structure and material requirements of Mythra's core, he must have the authority and knowledge to connect deeply with the magic network like a great arcanist..."

Matthew, who had obtained this secret knowledge, digested and absorbed it with relish, and carefully looked at the slightly shiny seal.

The spherical core of Mythra was placed on a sunken floor.

The surging magic fluctuations are like a vast ocean, constantly flowing in it.

Matthew was certain that even the magic controlled by the Grand Arcanist could not compare to 1/10 of the magic controlled by the failed Mythra Core.

Listening to the increasingly noisy sounds in his ears, Matthew looked away and thought back to the situation at Mythra's Core just now.

It is connected to the original seal of Blood God Haka in a very special way.

when not activated.

It continuously extracts energy from the blood god Haka and the power of the surrounding magic network.

Provide energy for this huge and powerful mage tower.

When necessary, it can be detonated like a magic net bomb.

The terrifying magic network power it channels can instantly destroy the Blood God Haka together with the seal.

This will inevitably cause turmoil in the magic network and bring fatal destruction to all surrounding creatures.

Fortunately, this place is underground, and Matthew estimates that this fatal shock wave will not reach Blood Moon City.

Seeing that Annie was about to continue speaking, Matthew suddenly raised his hand and pointed outside. Blood God Haka, who was already preparing to dismantle the last few combat puppets, said:

"This big guy is very strong. It won't take long to get in."

"So you go ahead and leave the matter of activating the self-destruction program to me."

Under Annie's stunned gaze, Matthew handed over a shiny crystal.

Anne immediately recognized what it was, and even had a dumbfounded expression on her face.

Fixed space teleportation stone!

After activating it, the user can be teleported to a specified location.

Its effect is very strong and its stability is very high. It can even break through the interference of dimensional anchors and war curtains, and complete the transmission safely and accurately.

Of course, if the effect is so good, there will naturally be a corresponding price to pay.

It is extremely expensive and difficult to manufacture. Each piece costs up to 1.5 million gold coins!

Why did Anne know so clearly?

Because she made this fixed-point space teleportation stone herself and sold it to Matthew at such a price...

Before Annie could react, Matthew, who noticed that the time might be a bit tight, activated it without hesitation. Under Annie's stunned gaze, he waved to her:

"Inform them to evacuate and leave the underground ruins as quickly as possible."

"In addition, be prepared to continue fighting and stabilize Blood Moon City as quickly as possible..."

Before Annie could reply, her entire body disappeared under the rays of teleportation light.

Matthew saw the self-destruct program in standby mode, reached out and patted it.

The appearance of Mythra's core is gorgeous and strong, and Matthew naturally knows the reason.

As the most important unit in the entire floating city, this thing is even more important than the Grand Arcanist as the controller.

Once the core of Mythra is attacked or something goes wrong, it may cause the entire floating city to crash.

Therefore, the great arcanists will naturally reinforce and strengthen it to ensure that ordinary attacks and accidents cannot cause any damage to it.

But now, what Matthew has to do is very different.

After being activated, the broken core of Mythra began to absorb power continuously.

Moreover, the routes that originally received and stored these forces have been blocked.

As a result, Mythra's core accumulated more and more power, and its speed became faster and faster.

Matthew felt the magic power condensed in the air and looked at the tiny magic crystals.

He lamented the magic of Mythra's core and admired the terrifying power of this weapon.

"Alarm, the self-destruction program has been activated, please evacuate as soon as possible!"

"Alert, the self-destruct program has been activated..."

Dazzling red light flashed inside and outside the entire mage tower.

The members of the Church of Eternal Life who controlled the Blood God Hakkar to attack the last door suddenly showed panic expressions on their faces.

The Blood God Haka, sensing the danger, let out a sharp and angry roar.

The sealing circle beneath Mythra's Core is emitting a dazzling, twisted red light.

The brighter it shines, the faster the Mythra Core moves.

Matthew ignored the noisy whispers around him and put his hand on the scarred Thunder Armor. The surging power of time kept flashing.

Outside the door, Blood God Haka suddenly felt regretful and accelerated his attack like crazy.

When the threat of death really comes!

He suddenly discovered that surviving was the most important thing!

Matthew naturally noticed his changes, feeling the power around him becoming manic, slowly closing his eyes, and said in an expectant tone and tone:

"There is no point in struggling, accept the fate of death!"

"This time, thanks to you, I can feel the taste of killing gods again!"

boom!

Colorful magic waves surged into the narrow space instantly.

The crazy release of energy only maintained order for a moment before turning into a chaotic storm.

Everything around him was instantly turned into powder.

The out-of-control terrifying magic storm became more and more swollen with the turmoil of the magic network.

Boom!

The terrifying destructive power spreads wantonly around.

The sturdy mage tower, like a toy, was crushed into ruins.

The members of the Church of Eternal Life who were running frantically outside were also crushed into pieces by the sweeping shock wave.

Sword Master Hess, who saw this terrifying scene from a distance, blinked in a daze:

"Are they all dead?"

Bang!

The falling stones were shattered, and she felt an unprecedented shock. Anne stared at the collapsed entrance to the underground ruins, her heart beating rapidly.

Annie looked around, but couldn't see the figure she wanted to see. Big tears ran down her cheeks and sprinkled on the dusty mage's robe.

At this moment, more than a dozen pieces of thunder armor fell down, making a "clang" sound on the ground.

Anne's eyes widened and she looked at the large area of ​​sunken ruins.

For a long time, there was no sign of anyone.

Annie lowered her head dejectedly and looked at the thunder armor piled up randomly.

Every piece of armor is covered with marks and gaps, large and small, representing the attacks it has suffered.

Now……

It has no users anymore...

"You can see it too? The Thunder Armor will sell well, but it still needs a lot of improvements."

A familiar and clear voice reached Annie's ears, and she subconsciously turned her head to meet Matthew's dark and deep eyes.

The latter extended his palm to her and issued a sincere invitation:

"Come on, let's make a fortune together!"
