Chapter 909 - Mage Army (1/2)
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
The sword puppets didn’t need to hit cannon fodder like these guys twice; one slash was enough to dismantle them into a pile of scrap iron.
But there were too many of these cannon fodder enemies. The sword puppets could tear apart three monster puppets in one second, but during that time, there would be seven or eight more of them pouncing over and tearing apart the sword puppets by relying on numbers.
As for the casting puppets, their spells simply couldn’t reach the Grey Beastmen in the back. On the contrary, the Grey Beastmen’s spells were pressuring them. In just ten seconds, three casting puppets had been destroyed by spells.
The Grey Beastmen roared as they held the advantage, continuously ordering the monster puppets to keep charging. Several thousand monster puppets charged forward with no regard for their lives. It was even more terrifying than several thousand magic beasts forming a beast tide. Anything stopping their path would be torn to pieces.
When Lin Yun’s subordinates arrived, they saw the puppet army continuously withdrawing due to the pressure.
The Grey Beastmen mounted on monster puppets were continuously shouting while raising their arms, and the magic patterns covering their bodies shone brightly as large Meteors fell from the clouds.
Cyan tornadoes that were like snakes fiercely twisting suddenly appeared and kept blocking the charging puppets. Anything drawn in by the tornado would end up being torn apart by the innumerable Wind Blades.
A blizzard of icicles and snow froze the ground, slowing down the puppets’ movements by causing their joints to lock up. Due to their movements slowing, puppets were swarmed and torn apart by ravenous puppets.
There were even long Earth Spikes appearing out of nowhere, just like a prank. They would suddenly shoot out and force the sword puppets back, only for them to be caught by the monster puppets and fiercely torn apart.
When looking at just the puppet armies, the Grey Beastmen had the advantage in this battle, even though the Grey Beastmen had lost at least five times as many puppets as Lin Yun!
But most of the monster puppets lost were around level ten, with the strongest in their early twenties. The small number of Level 30 monster puppets weren’t damaged.
But for Lin Yun, the weakest sword puppet was Level 30!
Seeing such circumstances, Lin Yun didn’t say anything. But the mage army took the initiative to rush out. The 50-mage army was becoming more and more coordinated, and their leader, Kurumu, didn’t need to say anything. With a small movement, every mage knew what they should do.
Most of the time, they would know what to do just from feeling the minute changes within each others’ mana.
The mage army didn’t loiter when the puppet army was being suppressed; they instantly rushed forward and used Fire Elemental Incarnations.
Their Dragonscale Staves, Magic Conducting Runes, and Blazing Robes were displaying their full potential as boundless fire elements frantically converged towards the mage army.
It only took two seconds for elemental flames to condense on their own, and five seconds before everything within a hundred meters of the mage army burst into flames. Moreover, the elemental flames showed no signs of stopping their expansion.
Glaring wisps of orange flames could be seen roaming among them, emitting sun-like radiance and terrifying heatwaves.
Lin Yun’s mage army didn’t follow the conventional fighting techniques of mages, which would be to safely cast spells from a safe distance. Instead, they formed a huge mobile array and welcomed those monster puppets in, and the crimson elemental flames rapidly spread alongside the mage army.
The fastest spider rushed towards the mages, its eight blade-like legs not suffering much from the heat spreading within the raging flames.
Even if it was only a Level 25 puppet, its physical attacks would already be too much for mages’ bodies to handle.
But not a single one of the mages used a defensive spell…
The strands of orange flames roamed within the sea of fire and flitted past the spider puppet’s legs as if softly caressing them.
When it touched, the spider puppet’s eight legs quickly glowed a bright red-orange and melted within half a second.
It was only a moment later that the legless spider puppet’s body turned red like heated iron before its body rapidly melted, turning into molten metal.
After the first spider rushed into the flames, it was followed by a large number of puppet monsters fearlessly charging in. The puppets around level 10 were becoming red as elemental flames before they even made it in.
