Chapter 314
The two did not dare to take another step forward. What was ahead was no longer something they could get involved in, and if they were discovered, they would die without a doubt.
"It seems that our mission is about to end. This must be a part of the Void Battlefront that devours Dillus. We have caught up with them." Sandy was a little excited. She had not been in the World of Mages for long and had already completed an exploration mission. Aside from being a little bored, everything went smoothly. Even if the Origin Power she obtained was a little less, it was worth it compared to the effort she had put in.
"Are we not continuing?" Adam asked.
"Of course not. After this, it will be the territory of Dillus that devours Dillus. The role of the exploration mages ends here. Next, it will be the work of the real mage army." Sandy excitedly connected to the Magic Net and uploaded the information that Dillus was building a Void Fortress. After a while, she said, "Now, you and I just need to wait here. This should not be the only place where the fortress is being built, but the exploration mages who are on the same route as us will eventually come here. We need to meet up with them and then gather the information."
As Sandy said, in the next few days, three teams of exploration mages arrived in the vicinity one after another. They followed the road signs left by Sandy and found the two of them.
After communicating with each other, Adam learned that they had also encountered a transit station and had chosen to follow the Hyperdimensional Dillus in the same way as Sandy. The slowest team was not very lucky. They arrived at the transit station in the wrong way, just in time for a few Hyperdimensional Dillus to arrive. Although they finished the battle as quickly as possible, they were still discovered by the level seven commander and almost died in the mission.
When Sandy officially contacted the command center, Adam was listening to their conversation.
"That's why there shouldn't be any bloodline body-refining mages in the exploration team." After everyone gathered, a level four mage who looked slightly embarrassed said in dissatisfaction. "We have to be hidden, the more hidden the better. But you just had to become so big. As long as you're not blind, anyone can see you."
Her companion, a body-refining mage who had twelve pairs of blood-red gem-like wings on his back, complained, "I don't want to either, but I'm now on the verge of advancement. The genes in my body are conflicting, and it's uncomfortable if I don't release my true body." He flapped his wings and said, "Even now, I need to be half-released."
Adam was rather curious. Reincarnation was a spell that stole soul information and genes in the first place. Could a sorcerer with hidden genetic conflicts be an exploration-type?
The Body Refining Mage was easy to talk to. "It's not always like this. This is a special situation."
"Your Excellency's bloodline is?"
The Body Refinement Mage became serious. "This is a secret. For a Bloodline Body Refinement Mage, bloodlines are absolutely …"
"Forget it. You look like a bird man now. You can't wait to tell the world that you have the bloodline of the Void Bird of Death. Also, since when can the bloodline you absorb be considered a secret? Why didn't I know about this? "
The Body Refinement Mage's face turned red. He said with grievance, "Kati, my love, how can you treat me like this!"
Kati walked to the side in disgust and said from afar, "Stay away from me. I hate you. Before you can put away those stupid wings, don't come near me!"
Adam looked at the two of them a few times. This was the first time he saw a couple of sorcerers. It was difficult for sorcerers to produce offspring. An Elemental Mage and a Bloodline Mage. Was there no reproductive isolation between them?
"Is there no reproductive isolation between them?" Garfield, who was hiding in Adam's mind, murmured. Fortunately, his voice could not be transmitted to the outside world.
At this moment, Sandy turned around with a serious face and said, "The exploration mages who went to the other routes also encountered similar things. The current information has confirmed that starting from these coordinates, the void ahead has been occupied by Dillus the Devourer."
Adam and the other sorcerers put away their sloppiness and listened seriously to Sandy's words.
"The command center ordered us to confirm the coordinates and guide the fleet to warp."
"Do we go straight to war?"
"Of course not. First, we have to give them a surprise."
— — —
Locating coordinates was an instinct of every exploration mage. As long as they had a dimensional anchor in their hands and there was no external force to obstruct or block the coordinates, this task was very simple.
Just like now, if the command center ordered them to enter the asteroid belt to locate the coordinates, they would definitely not be able to do it. However, if they were only in the periphery, the eight sorcerers marked the hundred most suitable coordinates in a short period of time and spread out in a fan shape. There were multiple small planes in the straight line behind each coordinate, ensuring that when the Hyperdimensional Strike arrived through these hundred points, not only would it not cancel each other out, but it would also produce a stronger effect and eventually converge on the centermost altar.
Hyperdimensional Strike was the surprise that the command center wanted to give to Dillus the Devourer. Sorcerers were not knights. Close combat was only a means, and long-range attacks were their main job. This principle was the same in the army. Unless there was no other choice or when the victory was determined, the fleet would try to avoid boarding and close combat.
After the work was done, a few exploration mages gathered together and stayed far away from the target range. Sorcerers were all companions, but energy did not distinguish between friend and foe. If they did not die in the mission but were killed by their own people, it would be too funny.
The familiar sound of the magic network rang in everyone's souls. Then, everyone saw the void near the coordinates begin to fluctuate violently, and a huge amount of terrifying energy gathered behind it.
Dillus in the asteroid belt was not slow. He had already sensed the change in the instant it happened. Densely packed like flying insects, Dillus flew out from various planes and headed straight for the coordinates.
Unfortunately, they had chosen the wrong method to deal with it. If they had activated the power of their defensive system to the maximum at the first moment, there was a certain chance that they could block the Hyperdimensional Strike or reduce the losses. But now, they were like mantises trying to stop a chariot.
The countdown ended, and a hundred brilliant light beams pierced through the void barrier, instantly turning Dillus who had flown to the vicinity to block them into ashes. After that, there was no loss of energy at all, bombarding the defensive barrier at a speed that could not be seen with the naked eye.
After a second of stagnation, the defensive barrier shattered, and the planes behind it were pierced through one after another. The ordinary Dillus who had been left on them were all killed, and the Hyperdimensional suffered heavy losses.
Just as the light beams were about to converge and hit the central altar, five rank 3 Dillus suddenly appeared, opening their terrifying mouths to welcome the light beams.
After paying the price of half of their bodies being carbonized, they managed to resolve this surprise with great difficulty.
Garfield appeared beside Adam and said with a toothache, "Tsk, it hurts just looking at it."
At the same time, the fleet descended.
