Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 607 - 605: Breaking the Situation with Force

"Boom!"

Mephisto knelt on one knee, feeling the mana within her Magic Origin boil like hot water in a pot under the relentless heat.

The mana uncontrollably overflowed from her Magic Origin, rampaging, wreaking havoc, and causing dangerous explosions within her body.

This!

This is!

Mephisto’s eyes widened, certain within her heart that she had experienced this before—it was during the destruction of White Stone City by the meteorite.

When the meteorite struck, the same kind of energy fluctuation erupted, sweeping across White Stone City and causing massive casualties among the wizards of the White Stone Tower.

Now it was the same, the same energy fluctuations, targeting only mana.

No, there were some subtle differences.

Mephisto clenched her fists tightly, suppressing her injuries while surveying her surroundings.

She saw, at this moment, the people in the venue affected by the mysterious fluctuations, exhibiting three distinctly different reactions.

The first group, mainly weak Wizard Apprentices with low Mana Storage, suffered hardly any severe injuries amid the energy fluctuations.

The second group, mainly ordinary wizards, were numerous and heavily injured, with some unlucky individuals near death, while the rest were pale-faced and significantly weakened.

The third group, consisting of powerful wizards who were usually leaders or members of the upper echelons of Wizard Organizations, should have suffered the most severe injuries due to their abundant Mana Storage. But now, it seemed that although they were affected, the injuries were much milder, as if forcibly suppressed.

This...

Mephisto was puzzled, then felt the rampaging mana within her stabilize. With great effort, within a few moments, she managed to force the ravaging mana back into the Magic Origin and returned to normal.

This!

Mephisto’s eyes flickered with realization that this energy fluctuation bore similarity to the meteorite that hit White Stone City, yet it wasn’t entirely the same. The most significant difference was that the intensity this time was much weaker.

For example, the incident at White Stone Tower was like a continuous onslaught, making it so that more mana directly equated to more severe injuries with no chance of resisting or surviving.

This time, it was more like a one-time explosion; if one had sufficient strength to endure that first wave of attack, they could then breathe easier.

Thinking about it, it made sense—after all, the prior event of White Stone City’s destruction was caused by a huge meteorite, while this time, it was just a fist-sized black crystal ball. With a size difference of more than a thousandfold, how could the effects be the same?

However, returning to the matter at hand, even though the effects of the energy fluctuation were reduced, the scene at the venue was still devastatingly unbearable, and the overall strength of these people had been greatly diminished.

The Wizard Apprentices, unharmed but weak, were inconsequential. The main force of ordinary wizards was injured, unable to fight, barely even able to tend to their companions.

The stronger wizards retained some combat ability but were too few in numbers. Most were seasoned Second-level Wizards. Including her, they counted to no more than twenty or thirty. Should there be another ambush, it was hard to imagine the outcome.

Just as Mephisto was pondering with slight concern, footsteps resounded at the venue’s entrance.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

A figure slowly walked into the venue—it was Sieg Adolf, and this time it was indeed his real body; the one before was but an illusion or substitute conjured by some spell.

At this moment, Sieg shook his head as he looked at the state of the venue, sighing, "My apologies, ladies and gentlemen, I must apologize for what I have done to you.

The Crystal Ball you just saw, I call it the Demons Breaking Pearl, possessing miraculous power—just one is enough to change the entire scene. I admit, what I’ve done was somewhat underhanded. However, considering our factions, we are enemies, and so I couldn’t be too concerned. Please bear with me.

Rest assured, once this is over, I will ensure a proper burial for you all, given your esteemed statuses, right?"

"Hmph!" A witch in a red rose robe stood up; her name was Angie, a member of Rose City. Due to her strength, she sustained lighter injuries in the recent Energy Wave.

Now, she looked at Sieg with cold eyes, saying, "Dean Sieg, it’s rather early for you to be saying these things and arranging our affairs. I admit that the Demons Breaking Pearl you used just now was shocking, but alas, there was only one. A few more might have killed us all, making things easy. With just one, it doesn’t determine everything!

Indeed, most of us are injured now, but an injured wizard remains a wizard, and one must not overlook the spells they can cast. Besides, we have about twenty or thirty people who are still at full fighting strength. With these people, taking you down will be more than enough! You dare to show your face as if all is decided—it’s really an overconfidence!"

"Is it?" Sieg chuckled. "Since you’re so certain, I’m mistaken, then why not take action? Have you noticed your words are very similar to Vick from White Mist City?"

"So, you’re also looking down on us this time?"

"No." Sieg shook his head, "This is a lure, like fishing, tempting you to attack me."

"Then I’m curious to see if your fishing rod is strong enough. Don’t let it happen that you catch no fish, and yet your rod breaks!" Angie, the witch from Rose City, said sharply, before angrily making a move, her whole being howling as she rushed towards Sieg.

"Oh, you dare to make a move?" Seeing Angie take action, Sieg was slightly surprised, as if he didn’t expect it. Then he turned and without hesitation, swept out of the venue, his voice trailing from afar, "If you really want to take action, then try to catch up with me first!"

Angie, the witch, was infuriated to the point of madness, quickening her speed as she chased after Sieg, calling out, "Everyone, help me catch him!"

The powerful wizards in the venue hesitated momentarily, but then the majority followed Angie in pursuit of Sieg.

They were not fools; they could see that Sieg was very likely intentionally luring them away. But no matter what, Sieg was a key figure, taking a gamble with his own safety. If they were strong enough, it wasn’t out of the question to capture Sieg and turn the whole situation around.

In other words, with the situation unclear, they chose to shatter the predicament with strength.

With that thought, many wizards chased farther and farther away.
