Chapter 1290: Unrestrained Robbery (Part 1)

The Golden Grand Swordmaster had died, and the surrounding warriors had also met with a great calamity. The two wings of the Bug Angel Warriors vibrated, releasing a wind blade, which caused the ground of the entire street to be sliced open. The wind blades had attacked all of the surrounding creatures, and none had escaped.

Saleen frowned deeply. He did not believe that Alchemy City was this weak and helpless. The attacks had already been ongoing for about half an hour. Not only had the Grand Duke’s forces raided hundreds of magical towers, but even his puppets had taken advantage of the situation as much as they could, using this opportunity to plunder the assets of about ten magical towers.

At this time, Grand Duke Iron Blood had already advanced one li into Alchemy City from the pier. He yelled towards the sky, “Attack!”

Saleen no longer hesitated. 24,000 enchanters released Saleen’s specialty, the Ice Bomb Spell, at the same time. These ice bombs were like hailstones that filled the sky and pounded downwards. They differed from regular hailstones in the sense that what the more than 20,000 ice bombs were attacking was a single target.

Over there was an inconspicuous six-floor magical tower. The magical tower’s surroundings were a circle of iron constructions. According to Imposa, this place was one of the weak spots of the magic amplifier. It was said to be a weak spot, but in fact, it was about the same as an elemental point. At most, it could be considered as a position that could be attacked.

Tens of thousands of magic spells poured down, triggering an elemental vibration. It seemed as if it was about to create an elemental storm. If not for Saleen’s territory that was secretly suppressing it, these magic spells would have canceled each other out.

There had never been such a strange attack before. About 20,000 magic spells were spaced out by two frames. Thirty would be released within one second, 1,800 would be released within one minute, and within about 10 minutes’ time, 24,000 identical magic spells would bombard the same position. The ice bombs would turn into fireballs when ignited and would then explode. Their might was equivalent to that of a typical grade-9 magic spell.

A large pit with a depth of about 100 meters had been formed by the explosion at the target position. At the base of the large pit, a piece of gigantic magic equipment appeared. This was a part of the large-scale magic amplifier. Currently, this copper-colored piece of magic equipment had been destroyed by Saleen’s attack. The revolving energy current had already been completely destroyed.

If Alchemy City’s mages were to repair it at this time, perhaps three to five minutes would be sufficient.

Yet Saleen would not give anybody that opportunity. He divided out half of the enchanters to continue to attack this part. Anyone who approached would all suffer from the attack of tens of thousands of magic spells.

For such a level of consumption, even Grand Duke Iron Blood’s heart would palpitate with anxiety. If Saleen were to go and attack Dragon Island, perhaps he would have to summon all of his Dragon Knights in order to resist against them.

In that case, Dragon Island’s expenditures would be much greater than Saleen’s.

Grand Duke Iron Blood was astonished, yet his hands were not careless. All of his forces were already storming into Alchemy City. The magical towers in which Alchemy City possessed immense wealth were all mapped out in his mind. That was based on the intelligence from Imposa. Imposa did not rob them alone either, only bringing the information to the duke. When the time came, he would share in the profits as well.

However, this did not mean that Imposa would not make a move against him. He stepped on the gigantic metal gears beneath his feet. His flight speed was several times faster than that of the Bug Angel Warriors. When he had advanced to grade 10, this body that was part human and part machine had become even more menacing. The speed of the magic spells it released was about 10 times more than been before.

Alchemy City had its own troops, yet they were not as well-organized as those of Metatrin City. Each part of the troops was designated to different mages. Amidst the Elemental Hand, their position was not high enough.

In this round of attacks, Alchemy City was not able to estimate how dangerous it would be at all. On Floating City, the might of the enchanters had caused the mages to feel chills in their hearts for the first time.

They were obviously a group of useless idiots, but within the magic net, they became great sorcerers. The magic spells that these enchanters knew were extremely few and even in battle, they fought under Saleen’s instructions. However, no matter how much these enchanters were looked down upon by others, during the battle, the might of the magic spells they released was not at all lacking.

The energy provided by the large-scale magic power furnace allowed the enchanters to attack without any reservations. Saleen’s Divine Crystal had long been melted into a liquid and refined into medicine that was distributed. For the sake of destroying Alchemy City, he would go all out regardless of the cost, even if these enchanters all ended up suffering from heavy injuries and turned into waste.

If they were unable to suppress the enemy during the initial half-hour, Alchemy City’s ferocious counterattacks would cause Floating City to suffer severe damage. A large number of mage trainers was no joke. If these people were to fly up to Floating City and attack its inner parts, Saleen’s losses would be great as well.

Attacking Alchemy City was a dangerous matter. If they were not ruthless enough and acted too cautiously, they would not be able to gain anything in the end. All of their plans would go up in smoke.

Under repeated attacks towards the magic amplifier, the part of it that was on the ground had only received slight damage, and the damage was not to the magic amplifier itself. Saleen immediately knew that this large-scale magic amplifier was likely an ancient godly item. The places hit by his attacks would only be temporarily unable to revolve. Now, this was troublesome!

The tallest construction in the middle of Alchemy City had already been destroyed by magic spells. Nine grade-10 magic towers stood surrounding the city. At this time, they became eye-catching. The magical towers all released an intense elemental vibration at the same time. The concealed magic arrays below the magical towers all communicated with one another. With the castle walls as the core, a huge magic pattern was released onto the ground.

With one look, Imposa intuitively felt that this was not good. This had temporarily cut off the magic amplifier, yet it allowed the area between the great magic towers and the castle walls to form a defensive circle. The two huge statues guarding the west gate also came to life at this time, rushed into Alchemy City and began to hunt down the Bug Angel Warriors.

The pieces of stone on entire bodies of the two giant statues, which exceeded 100 meters in height, had all turned into metal armor at this time. They held terrifying giant war hammers in their hands. With a single wave, they could pound a Bug Angel Warrior into a messy lump of bloody flesh.

On the castle walls of Alchemy City, the glow of all kinds of elements turned more and more dazzling. They gradually formed a magic shield that enclosed the entire Alchemy City within it. Once Saleen saw this, he simply laughed coldly. Such defenses were good against ordinary people, but to deal with him, they were somewhat foolish.

The protective shield was one and a half li tall, with the form of an eggshell. Saleen’s Floating City immediately pressed down on it, directly knocking onto the magic shield. He did not care if Floating City was harmed. Furthermore, this degree of a collision could not possibly inflict harm upon Floating City.

The nine magical towers trembled. The energy shield was abruptly pressed by Floating City until it broke. It released a great crash that shook the heavens and earth, and three sides of the city wall all collapsed.

At the base of Saleen’s Floating City, a crack had also appeared.

However, this crack was very shallow. The dull gold-colored energy current flowed within this crack for a few dozen seconds and had finished repairing it. In the upper part of Floating City, they had not even felt anything particularly dangerous at all.

Hundreds of enchanters had perished in this collision. Saleen ordered the enchanters in the Magical Element Tower to make up for these losses, then handed Floating City over to the water puppet Rossen to control it. He then brought Nailisi and the rest of the party to rush down from Floating City.

He could no longer stay put. The attacks on Floating City were unable to be of any threat to the remaining enemies. After the two giants had borne the continuous attacks of the magic spells, they had also swiftly recovered and could not be destroyed by grade-9 magic spells at all.

In addition, there was really no way to destroy the magical towers by attacking them from a high altitude. Saleen had deliberately used Floating City for the collision but was also worried that after the collision, his Floating City would be worn out and temporarily unable to fly.

Both sides had their own misgivings. The final method could not be utilized in Alchemy City.

Saleen made his move and identified a benefit. At the borders of Alchemy City, in the place that the giant statues had left behind, there was a magic warehouse. He was able to perceive that this magic warehouse was entirely a result of the practice of darkness spatial magic patterns. The magic warehouse had also been covered in attacks, yet it had not suffered any damage at all.

The magic warehouse had a depth of at least one li underground. Because the giant statues had passed by this position, it had been lifted by hundreds of meters and was already in a dilapidated state. The warehouses on the upper floors had not all been destroyed, and only the stone foundations below the ground had been exposed. It looked as if it were a magical facility for the flow of underground water.

However, this could not fool Saleen. Close to this deep pit, there were 18 magical towers, divided into grade-9 and grade-10. The purpose of these magical towers was to guard this magic warehouse.

Saleen rushed down from the skies, with Sika and Nailisi following beside him. Jola and the rest of the party had to defend Floating City to avoid the strong grade-10 people from rushing up to Floating City and occupying it.

Saleen forcefully rushed down. The 18 magical towers reacted speedily and immediately discovered Saleen’s movements. The towers all released magic attacks at the same time. Behind Saleen, the magic amplifier flew and rotated. Saleen’s territory suddenly increased its strength. Countless lightning bolts formed and caused the magic spells to be dispersed. The magic spells that were able to penetrate the electric currents close to his body were also nullified by the grade-10 Water Shield.

“There!” Saleen pointed at a grade-8 magical tower. Nailisi had already transformed into a devil. Holding the Grey Memory in her hands, she rushed forth. Her body was also flashing with an electric current. She did not look at energy attacks at all. It was only for the compound types of magic attacks that she would use her square shield to block them.

In the blink of an eye, Nailisi had already rushed up to the front of this magical tower, using a bayonet to pierce into the window on the eighth floor.

The Grey Memory stirred, and all of the people in the eight-floor magical tower had been killed by the Grey Memory’s bayonet.

Sika was even faster than Nailisi. Her target was a grade-9 magical tower. A triangular-shaped bone piece flew out from her. This bone piece drilled into the grade-9 magical tower’s window and flew about wildly. It had cleanly killed off the mages inside.

The remaining towers only wisened up after this. One after another, they closed their doors and windows, releasing their own attacks separately from the magic array towards the outside.

It was too late, however. With two magical towers destroyed, the remaining ones had difficulty in forming a joint attack. Sika summoned a soul beast and flew above a grade-9 magical tower. This place was still an area untouched by attacks. Only the mages within this magical tower would still be able to engage in an attack against her. The other 10 or so magical towers already had no means to take care of this place.

Sika’s hands held a metal totem pole. Following the tip of the magical tower, she pounded it downwards.

With a loud crash, this magical tower shook and split, yet it still did not topple. The mages inside were already scared out of their wits. That female warrior had flown over and waved the huge weapon in her hands once, and had actually destroyed even the magical tower’s defenses with her pounding.

Was this a human?

The triangular bone piece flew in. The dazed sorcerers had their necks sliced by Sika, and numerous heads tumbled down onto the floor.

The magical towers’ joint defenses had thoroughly collapsed. Saleen drilled underground headfirst and released a Dissolution Scroll while facing the peak of the warehouse. When coming to Alchemy City this time, Saleen had made sufficient preparations. He was too lazy to snatch ordinary wealth. Only such a warehouse was his target.
