Chapter 1083 - Huge Joke (1/2)

A pale mage standing next to Dylas incoherently suggested a poor idea.

Dylas slapped him with a backhand.

“Byron, you idiot! Have you lost your brain? Flee? Where? If we flee now, the only thing awaiting us is being chased by an angry Dedale later on.

“Do you think Sir Dedale will be killed by that monster?”

Byron’s eyes turned towards the crowd spectating the scene and he laughed evilly as he got a rotten idea.

“Sir Dylas, can we lure that monster to those people? If we force them to give us a hand, we can definitely take care of that monster…”

Approval flashed in Dylas’ eyes, but he instantly shook his head.

“Fool, you think our sins aren’t heavy enough? Do you want to offend everyone to death? Damn, if this matter had gone right, it wouldn’t have mattered if we offended them as they definitely wouldn’t dare to retaliate.

“But we already failed, do you understand what that means?

“If we offend everyone today and that monster kills some of their forces, we would be the one being hounded for it!

“You think you can resist the attack from so many forces? Damn, they will silently overthrow the Shadow Tower!

“Don’t get any stupid idea and immediately help getting rid of that monster, we can’t offend Dedale again, we absolutely can’t offend him…”

Dylas thought of escaping, but he didn’t dare. There would be no path for him in the future if he did.

Dylas led the Shadow Tower’s mages behind the monster. Shadows started squirming like snakes and rapidly approached the back of the monster.

Unfortunately, the power of the shadows were reduced by more than half as they went through the sea of flames.

Holy light and flames were the best natural nemesis of shadow spells as shadow would disappear in places with light and flames. A place with boundless flames like the sea of flames produced endless light and there was no shadow that could be used within.

The power of their spells would be greatly reduced while their consumption would be greatly increased.

Dylas looked at his subordinates and shouted fiercely, “Fools, don’t you see that this place is completely covered by the flames of the sea of flames? Why are you still using Shadow Control? F*ck, do you plan on dying from stupidity!?

“That’s a monster without wisdom, do you not understand what that means?! Shadow Whip! Shadow Madness! Confusion! Don’t tell me you don’t know how to use those?”

After saying that, Dylas raised his staff and the light emerging from it turned into a skull of shadow. The skull then let out a strange laugh as it flew towards the monster while dragging a long ashen black trail.

The skull caused some changes to the monster’s halo on impact. Ripples spread and the places covered by the halo fluctuated, as if the monster’s control over the bloody light had some issues.

Seeing how useful Shadow Madness was, Dylas’ subordinates all moved their staff and released ashen black skull shadows.

Waves of skulls entered the monster’s body and rapidly made that layer of bloody light fluctuate even more fiercely. After being hit by over a hundred Shadow Madness within a dozen seconds, the monster’s instinctive control over the bloody light thoroughly became chaotic.

Some parts of the monster’s body were already devoid of bloody light.

Dylas’ eyes shone, he raised his staff and a dozen translucent ashen black runes transformed in a dozen black lights that hit the monster’s body.

A dozen Confusion Spells hit the monster one after another, and the monster’s formidable magic resistance couldn’t resist them. This kind of spell targeting the mind was a dozen to a few dozen times stronger against this kind of mindless monster!

Skull shadows floated around the monster’s head as the monster started crazily attacking his surroundings, no longer using his Blood Arm Shield to block Dedale’s fire spells.

Shadow Madness, Confusion, these were beginner spells to a shadow mage, they were only 4th Tier Spells.

The original intent behind these spells weren’t to be used as attacking spells, but to interrupt powerful spells’ incantations.

They wouldn’t have any destructive power against intelligent lifeforms, but they could display ten times to a few dozen times their power against pure mindless beasts.

Unfortunately, even low level magic beasts had inferior instinctive wisdom, while Heaven Rank Magic Beasts already awakened their wisdom and were no different from humans in that regard.

A pure mindless lifeform was almost non-existent. They would use some wild animals when learning these spells, unfortunately the effects would only make them go crazy for a moment.

If they hadn’t been reminded, no one would have thought of that kind of niche spell. After all, very few mages would chant an incantation in a mage battle. Any spell taking more than two seconds simply couldn’t be used in an intense fight.
