End of the Magic Era Chapter 1353 - Rescue

Chapter 1353: Rescue

Their city master, a level-3 Heaven Rank expert and a n.o.ble of the Blood Elves, had been instantly killed. Even his mount was instantly killed too. They couldn’t fight any longer…

Three minutes later, only the rain of blood was continuing to drop from the sky. The remaining bird riders had all returned behind the city’s s.h.i.+eld.

With bloodshot eyes, Xiuban charged with Carnage, and smashed the city’s s.h.i.+eld brutally. Ripples immediately spread out from the point of impact. The crystals on the tops of the three pointy towers in the center of the city unleashed dazzling brilliance, and the s.h.i.+eld became significantly st.u.r.dier than before.

From behind the s.h.i.+eld, the mages and archers of the Blood Elves began to cast spells and shoot arrows at Xiuban. The spells and arrows. .h.i.t Xiuban and flung him backwards, but they couldn’t even break Xiuban’s skin.

“Xiuban, come back.”

Lin Yun’s voice came to Xiuban’s ears. Xiuban glared at the appalled Blood Elves with Carnage on his shoulder one last time, and flew back to the magic battles.h.i.+p.

Xiuban had left, but none of the Blood Elves dared to move beyond the s.h.i.+eld anymore. They all hid behind the s.h.i.+eld, and gazed at the five magic battles.h.i.+ps vigilantly.

Lin Yun casually observed the city of Blood Elves, whose residents were almost exclusively Blood Elves. Members of the other races were all slaves or domesticated beasts. The half-beastmen and other races were no better than beasts in the eyes of the Blood Elves…

In the entire underground world, every intelligent race, including the dragons, was no different from a group of beasts in their eyes, except for other Blood Elves…

“Tear apart their protection.”

At his order, the alchemy puppets on the five magic battles.h.i.+ps calculated quickly. In only three seconds, two secondary cannons on one of the magic battles.h.i.+ps had been charged.

The two secondary cannons, which were a dozen meters long, were installed on the two sides of the magic battles.h.i.+p. The ma.s.sive mana reactors began to work at full efficiency, injecting enormous amounts of mana into the secondary cannons, and making the air around the barrel twist. When too much mana was concentrated, the s.p.a.ce inside the barrel was twisted and collapsed.

Three seconds later, the two secondary cannons shot at the same time. Bright pillars of light stretched from the cannons, and hit the city’s s.h.i.+eld.

Instantly, the city’s s.h.i.+eld was distorted. The crystals that were floating on the tops of the three pointy towers revolved crazily, and emitted dazzling brilliance, but they could not provide enough mana to sustain the s.h.i.+eld.

A few seconds later, the rear half of the city’s s.h.i.+eld was canceled, and all the power was concentrated in the front as an enormous mana s.h.i.+eld to resist the two pillars of light.

But they weren’t able to resist for long. The crystals on top of the three pointy towers in the center of the city exploded one after another, and the brilliance of mana completely dispersed, while the enormous s.h.i.+eld crumbled and turned into spots of light.

The city’s s.h.i.+eld that the Blood Elves had always been proud of collapsed. They were so shocked that they all forgot about fighting. They stared at the three empty towers in the center of the city.

The s.h.i.+eld was one of the Blood Elves’ masterpieces that they were the proudest of. The pointy towers were their defense towers. The more towers there were and the larger they were, the stronger the defense they would provide.

Also, all of the towers’ mana came from the crystals whose raw materials were the Blood Essence ores and several other materials.

That was the Blood Elves’ most powerful alchemy technology. Or rather, it was their only alchemy technology that was worth mentioning.

The crystals didn’t really contain a lot of mana. They were just mediums for the transmission of mana. The mana came from the Void Blood Pool in the Blood Elves’ capital. That Blood Pool could power the defenses of all the Blood Elves’ cities.

It was the Blood Elves’ most important Extraordinary Magic Tool, and contained a terrifying amount of mana. Unfortunately, it couldn’t be used in battles. It could only provide mana for city defense.

As long as the blood crystals continuously received mana, the city’s defense would never be broken. When enemies attacked the city, they had to drain the crystal’s mana instantly, break the city’s defense before more mana was transmitted, and then destroy the crystals. Only then would the city be defenseless.

The most important reason why few new cities were established by the Blood Elves was that the Void Blood Pool didn’t have infinite mana. Although it could constantly generate mana, it couldn’t power the defense of an unlimited number of cities.

The most effective way to break the defense was to use a continuous spell.

Xiuban might be able to weaken the s.h.i.+eld by half with one strike, but by the time he struck again, the s.h.i.+eld would have been replenished. He would never be able to break the s.h.i.+eld…

The magic battles.h.i.+ps’ secondary cannons might only be able to consume one-tenth or even less of the s.h.i.+eld’s power, but their attacks were continuous and far more frequent than the s.h.i.+eld’s recovery. So, the s.h.i.+eld was torn apart in only a couple of seconds.

That was why the magic battles.h.i.+ps were horrifying. Noscent’s insane rise in the age of colonization was all because of the invention of magic battles.h.i.+ps.

If it had been before, Lin Yun would’ve had to attack in person in order to conquer the Blood Elves’ city as a level-5 Heaven Rank expert. Also, he had to be aware of spells that were suitable for the conquest.

However, at this moment, the magic battles.h.i.+ps, which were under the control of a bunch of level-30 alchemy puppets that weren’t even capable of fighting, could break the city’s defense easily…

There weren’t many level-5 Heaven Rank experts, but it was possible to build magic battles.h.i.+ps and alchemy puppets infinitely as long as there were enough materials.

Even 10,000 years later, it would be impossible to deploy level-5 Heaven Rank experts to attack such a small city. But as for magic battles.h.i.+ps…

It wouldn’t be a problem to deploy 10 magic battles.h.i.+ps that were as powerful as level-5 Heaven Rank experts…

The city’s defense was shattered, and the b.l.o.o.d.y crystals were destroyed. The Blood Elves’ city was exposed to everyone like a naked girl. The Blood Elves in the city were all dumbfounded. They had never been through anything like this in their long life…

When the five magic battles.h.i.+ps gradually approached the city, the residents didn’t fight back. Rather, they fled crazily. They rode their birds and tried to fly away, only to be shot down by the weapons on the magic battles.h.i.+ps.

The Blood Elves who resisted were instantly vaporized too.

In less than one minute, a lot of Blood Elves had surrendered. According to the rules of the underground world, anyone who surrendered would automatically become the victor’s slave.

The Blood Elves were ready to surrender, however frustrated, because that was the only way to survive. It was a custom of the underground world to kill whoever disobeyed.

After the Blood Elves’ city was taken down easily, Bulinwon rushed out impatiently.

“Where are my compatriots? Where are they? Where are my compatriots that you caught?”

Seeing that the lord he pledged loyalty to was so strong that the Blood Elves who terrified him in the past s.h.i.+vered and waited for their final judgment like the Cave Gnomes did in the past, Bulinwon forgot all his fear.

Unfortunately, one of the Blood Elves didn’t forget the Blood Elves’ pride. Or rather, he hadn’t quite figured out the new situation yet. He couldn’t help but sneer after seeing Bulinwon.

“You are just a filthy gray gnome, yet you dare to question a great Blood Elf. G.o.dd.a.m.n idiot—”

Before the Blood Elf could finish, Xiuban grimaced and looked at him. Darri, on the other hand, even walked to him with a scary smile and killed him.

“Dumb*sses, forget your stupid arrogance, and hand over Bulinwon’s compatriots. If any of them is missing, I’ll kill twice as many Blood Elves. You should all be burnt in flames for 10,000 years for insulting great Sir Merlin, Sir Xiuban, and Madam Reina!”

Lin Yun frowned, but didn’t say anything. The underground world had its own rules. The rules of Noscent didn’t apply here. As a native, Darri was obviously more familiar with local rules.

After the Blood Elf was killed, and when five magic battles.h.i.+ps floated above their heads like terrifying beasts, none of the other Blood Elves dared to say anything. Panicked, they took out all the Cave Gnomes that were still in the city.

Seeing the Cave Gnomes, Bulinwon, despite his usual cowardice, gritted his teeth and roared angrily with bloodshot eyes.

None of the Cave Gnomes that were sent out were unscathed. Some of them were dying because of torture, some had missing limbs, and one of them had been entirely skinned. He could only moan in a low voice as he had lost the strength to scream.

Some had lost all of their limbs, and their wounds were bleeding. Judging by the shape of their wounds, their limbs seemed to have been bitten off by some beasts…

More and more Cave Gnomes were sent out. There were only a dozen at the beginning, but after Darri killed another few Blood Elves, more and more Cave Gnomes were sent out.

In only a dozen minutes, more than 300 Cave Gnomes were sent out. None of them were healthy. Some of them were even dead bodies.

Seeing so many miserable Cave Gnomes, Bulinwon cried while holding a Cave Gnome whose body was full of tiny wounds. Then, he ran to Lin Yun without saying a word, and begged on the ground.

“Sir, please save my compatriots. I’m willing to offer you my life. Please help them…”

Lin Yun frowned at what he saw with an awful expression. He took out two bottles of Health Potion, and asked Bulinwon to treat the heavily wounded Cave Gnomes.

Many of the Cave Gnomes were children that were only half a meter tall, but they had been almost all tortured to death at this moment.

Seeing the miseries of the Cave Gnomes, Xiuban put on a scary expression, and the light on the surface of Carnage gradually turned red. Reina, who had always been expressionless, couldn’t help but frown. Even Darri, as a local, was sticking out his tongue furiously.

Lin Yun gazed at the Blood Elves coldly. He had planned to attack directly before he came. It was the most efficient way. If he hadn’t shown his absolute strength, probably none of the 300 Cave Gnomes would’ve been rescued alive.

He had never been fond of the Blood Elves, not just because they would absorb the blood of any enemy they killed to strengthen themselves, but because they were arrogant, brutal, and more annoying than devils.

They all seemed righteous on the surface, but they were heartless perverts inwardly. Also, the ratio of perverts was quite high in the group. They considered all other races inferior, and tortured and slaughtered them for fun.

Some of them even loved brutalizing other races bit by bit until they died miserably. It would be lucky if they died after only a few years of torture. Some evil Blood Elves, in order to become stronger, would capture living creatures and swallow their blood without killing them. The captives were truly miserable…

After the barrier between the underground world and Noscent was broken, and everybody could come and go freely, the only total war between the two worlds happened because the Blood Elves captured many mages, including high-ranked ones, as blood suppliers, which ignited the fury of the crazy mages.

In the war, the Blood Elves were all annihilated. One-fourth of the underground world was turned into debris. The crazy mages didn’t stop until the Blood Elves’ Void Blood Pool were destroyed.

The secrets of the Blood Elves were all written clearly. Their bad habits would make them as unwelcome as devils 10,000 years later. After their Void Blood Pool was destroyed, their population plummeted, and they went extinct 1,000 years later.

At that time, Noscent’s civilization was already on the rise, and it was much more powerful than the Blood Elves. In the total war, Noscent didn’t send any expert that was above level-7 of the Heaven Rank. Only a dozen fleets, including 1,000 magic battles.h.i.+ps, appeared on the battlefield, and crushed their enemies.

In only a couple of minutes, the condition of all the heavily wounded Cave Gnomes was stabilized. Nothing could be done about the dead ones. The mutilated ones, thanks to the potions which contained enormous vitality, would regrow their limbs in good time.

Opening his Demiplane, and sending the Cave Gnomes to the tribe in his Demiplane, Lin Yun finally turned around, and looked at the Blood Elves.

Those handsome-looking guys were just devils in elven skin. Lin Yun didn’t like them at all.

“What are the rest of the Cave Gnomes? You have three seconds to answer. If you don’t, then you can all go to h.e.l.l.”

Hardly had Lin Yun said that when a scared Blood Elf replied in a hurry.

“Sir, those filthy… those gray… No, those Cave Gnomes are all in the mines 30 kilometers to the east of the city. They’re all there. I swear that the rest are all there…”

The gray gnome was the Blood Elves’ insulting way of calling the Cave Gnomes. They were not changing at all even at this moment.

Lin Yun didn’t want to waste his time on this perverted race. He turned to Lord Shawn.

“Lord Shawn, they’re the new laborers. Do as you see fit.”

Then, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel appeared next to Lin Yun, and expanded to its original size. The brilliant Ten Thousand Spell Wheel revolved slowly. After Lin Yun spouted a rune, endless law runes and mana burst out of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, sealing the Blood Elves’ mana. They could only use their physical strength.

A gale threw the thousands of Blood Elves into the Natural Demiplane. Then, Lord Shawn grinned, and ran into the Demiplane.

“Idiots, meet me, great Lord Shawn, and your master in the years to come.”

Lord Shawn was floating in the size of a hand, and wasn’t intimidating at all. One of the Blood Elves said a word, and Lord Shawn turned into a streak of light and broke into his soul.

A miserable scream echoed. Three seconds later, Lord Shawn returned and waved his claws angrily. That Blood Elf’s soul had been torn apart…

“d.a.m.n it, this guy’s soul is so perverted and filthy. It’s been corrupted…”

While Lord Shawn trained the new laborers in the Demiplane, the alchemy puppets and legion mages searched the Blood Elves’ city, and carried away all the valuable materials and resources.

The Blood Elves had been suppressing all the other races nearby, and collecting wealth crazily. Although the city only had 10,000 Blood Elves, there were enough resources in the city for the Gilded Rose to collect for a year. Many precious materials in Noscent were used as ornaments in this place…

After they returned to the magic battles.h.i.+ps, Reina suddenly flew out, and resumed her original form as a Frost Dragon. She swooped as icy brilliance gathered in her mouth. Then, she spouted Zero Degree Breath at the center of the city.

Immediately, ice and frost spread from the center of the city, and covered the entire settlement in a couple of seconds. After a dozen seconds, the entire city turned into ice. Because of the Zero Degree Breath that Reina spouted, it probably wouldn’t melt in 1,000 years…

Having been insulted first and shocked by the Blood Elves’ brutality, Reina obviously couldn’t hold back her fury anymore.

Reina returned to the magic battles.h.i.+p without a word. Xiuban grinned. All of Enderfa’s three faces were terrified, and they did not dare to utter a word. Reina, whose life level had leaped by multiple levels, was too strong to offend…
