The triumphant sneer on Kog's face, composed of metal and slime, froze.
The panic and chaos he had expected from the wizards never materialized.
Instead, the spiritual fluctuations emanating from the wizard chief named Dixon showed no fear. Rather, they carried a hint of... helplessness?
And even a touch of annoyance at being underestimated?
Just as Kog's doubts began to fester, Dixon suddenly turned his head as if sensing something, looking at the empty space beside him.
The space there rippled like water, and a figure shrouded in shadow silently emerged. It was the seventh-tier wizard—Obolos.
His gaze, which seemed capable of devouring light, swept across the battlefield before finally settling on Dixon. He spoke with a voice that had the grating quality of grinding metal: "It seems you've been completely looked down upon, Dixon."
Hearing this, a look of frustration crossed Dixon's face. He shrugged. "My luck today has indeed been terrible, but I never expected it to be so bad that people would doubt we can do anything but play with elemental magic."
Obolos's appearance was a clear signal in itself—the super-giant sealing formation targeting the outer edges of the Triangular Plane Cluster had been completely completed, leaving them with no more worries.
Kog's heart sank.
He realized his "Elemental Silence Domain" had failed to achieve its intended effect.
Far from being flustered, his opponents looked on as if watching a tedious farce.
"Impossible! With the elements inert, how could you possibly—" Kog's mental waves trembled with disbelief.
However, the two Golden Giant Baboons from another civilization hadn't given it a second thought.
In their minds, a magic-nullifying field was the absolute home turf for those who relied on pure physical strength!
Dixon's earlier display of power had made them instinctively wary, but now, it seemed the shackles were on him!
"Roar! If you won't surrender, then die!" one of the Golden Giant Baboons let out a savage roar, the sound wave rippling outward like a physical shockwave.
The two behemoths' muscles bulged, their golden fur bristling as a terrifying aura erupted from them.
They slammed their feet into the void, shattering the solidified air into a spiderweb of cracks. Then, they transformed into two golden streaks of light, tearing through heaven and earth as they charged at Dixon and Obolos with terrifying speed!
The aura of the charge was so fierce it seemed it could shatter the stars themselves!
Faced with this savage collision, powerful enough to shake a continent, Dixon and Obolos didn't even budge.
Dixon merely tilted his body slightly, his right hand casually thrusting forward to press against the air.
Obolos was even more direct. His shadow-covered fist struck out after Dixon's, a plain-looking punch thrown forward.
BAM!!
BOOM!!
Two deafening, yet profoundly heavy explosions erupted almost simultaneously, echoing across the entire battlefield!
Under the stunned gazes of Kog and Hilla, the two Golden Giant Baboons, radiating eighth-tier pressure and charging with ferocious momentum, were sent flying backward even faster than they had arrived, shrieking in agony!
Their massive bodies tumbled uncontrollably through the air, clearly revealing a deep fist print and a massive palm print on their chests!
The two hundred-meter-tall Golden Baboons traced two parabolic arcs before smashing like meteors into the main army of the Giant Spirit Realm, which had been waiting in formation below!
RUMBLE!!!
In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains trembled!
Dust, mixed with metal fragments and bloody remains, soared into the sky.
The spots where the two Golden Baboons landed were instantly cleared out, forming two craters over several kilometers in diameter!
The massive impact sent the two baboons tumbling backward, their bodies plowing out two enormous craters.
Countless war beasts and heavy warships from the Giant Spirit Realm were crushed and blown apart by their rolling forms. The continuous explosions, combined with their terrifying size, instantly transformed the area into a living hell!
"No... Impossible!" Kog's spiritual waves fluctuated violently, nearly collapsing.
Under his disbelieving gaze, Dixon tore off the slightly oversized wizard's robe with a look of disgust and tossed it aside.
Beneath the robe, what emerged was not the frail body of a scholar, but a perfect form cast from some dark-golden metal!
His muscles were smooth and packed with explosive power, and faint runes flowed across his skin, radiating an oppressive pressure that made one's heart tremble.
He cracked his neck with a crisp sound, his gaze looking down disdainfully at Kog and Hilla. "Who told you that we wizards can only manipulate the elements?"
Beside him, Obolos remained silent, but the shadow enveloping his body writhed and twisted.
A set of menacing, heavy, full-coverage armor with a dark, dull luster replaced his previous black robe, transforming him into a steel god of war.
The source of a wizard's power has always been "knowledge"!
Using knowledge to leverage power—and leveraging elements being just one of the most common and convenient methods.
Cultivating a Cannon Fodder Legion is an application of knowledge. Developing various spells to leverage elements is an application of knowledge. And using means such as biochemical technology, body quenching, gene optimization, and mechanical modification to forge one's own body into a terrifying weapon no less formidable than any melee race is also an embodiment of leveraging power through knowledge!
For the vast majority of formal wizards who have experienced multiple planar wars and know the importance of a "trump card," powerful close-quarters combat ability is often their deepest hidden and most reliable life-saving measure.
Below, the Wizard Army quickly regained its composure after the initial brief commotion, precisely because of this.
Moreover, their methods went far beyond this.
Jieming felt the inert elemental environment outside. Although controlling the [Great Light Phase] array indeed felt noticeably sluggish, requiring him to expend more mental power to "push" those solidified elements, he did not panic.
His rune-imbued magical artifact system had been designed from the start for combat in such extreme environments.
The three metal disks embedded at the center of the array, serving as the core energy source, were now steadily outputting surging energy to power the talismanic seals.
Across the entire battlefield, the allied forces of the Giant Spirit Realm and the Mental Realm had seen their combat effectiveness drastically reduced by the "Elemental Silence Domain."
The wizards, however, fared much better. Although their conventional area-of-effect spells were severely limited, their overall combat power had not diminished nearly as much as the enemy had anticipated.
Many wizards were already tearing off their cumbersome robes.
Some revealed mutated bodies covered in scales or chitinous armor, their muscles bulging with power. Others swelled like inflating balloons, transforming into roaring giant beasts. Still others summoned streamlined heavy power armor or massive mecha from their spatial equipment, quickly donning them.
Even more impressive, some wizards manifested shields and weapons made of pure energy directly on their bodies...
Yet, there were still many wizards like Jieming who could maintain their spellcasting abilities through their own reserves or special techniques.
Of course, while wizards like Jieming were not few, they still made up a small proportion of the entire wizard legion.
Naturally, wizards like Jieming immediately became the core firepower on the battlefield.
Seeing this, other wizards spontaneously moved closer to wizards like Jieming, forming assault formations with them as the core.
After all, when it came to clearing out mobs of enemies over a large area and breaking through fortified defenses, spells were still more efficient.
"No... This is impossible! What kind of monsters are you?!" Kog's mental fluctuations were filled with a despair that seemed to shatter him.
Hilla's energy body also fluctuated violently, and a strong urge to retreat welled up within her.
However, Dixon and Obolos would no longer give them any chance.
"Since you have no other means..." Dixon twisted his wrist and stomped his foot, causing the void to shatter.
"...then you can die!"
He transformed into a streak of dark gold light, shattering the space along his path as he appeared instantly before Kog and Hilla. His fists, imbued with the power to crush space itself, struck out in a straightforward, overwhelming assault!
Obolos, meanwhile, descended like a black meteor, smashing directly into the battlefield below. His target: the two Golden Giant Baboons, who had just scrambled from the deep pit, their faces contorted with shock and fury!
Heavy armor clashed with savage flesh as they engaged in the most primal of melees!
The ferocious assault by the two seventh-tier wizards sounded the horn for the wizard legion's general offensive!
"Everyone, prepare..."
"Crush them!"
Countless wizards roared with fanatical fervor.
Some drove vast oceans of cannon fodder forward in a relentless crush, while others led the charge, following comrades who had transformed into giant beasts, mecha, or enhanced warriors. Like a burst dam, they launched a mountain-shattering, sea-roaring group charge against the allied forces, whose morale had plummeted after their leaders were thwarted and their domains disabled!
