Chapter 315
Although the five Level Eight Dillus were severely injured, they did not die. The central altar transmitted energy synchronously, and new body tissues gradually replaced the carbonized parts, healing their injuries. The remaining plane in the asteroid belt quickly shrank inwards, hiding behind the gray defensive shield.
At this time, Adam and the other eight exploration mages had returned to the warship.
The battle was busy, and no mages had time to receive them. Only a high-grade alchemy puppet brought them to a cabin.
Sandy returned to his normal state, and excitedly leaned on the porthole to look at the scene outside. "Five more big bugs have appeared, and their strength is not bad."
Adam saw that there were a total of ten Level Eight Dillus in the plane. Two of them were guarding the central altar, and the other eight were commanding the group, driving the void fortress to meet the mage army. Although it looked strange, it was indeed very similar to the transformation of the mage tower.
Adam thought of the Devourer. It had received the inheritance long ago, and could have left the Titan Plane to return to the group, but it did not do so. Instead, it left the group and sought to become a Level Nine creature. It seemed that its ambition was not small, and if it was not independence, it wanted to usurp the throne.
At this time, more Hyperdimensional Mage Towers at the rear of the battlefield also jumped over, and joined the battle without stopping. The main and secondary cannons of the warship and the starship did not stop for a moment, and the Seventh Alchemy Holy Tower set up a large area of alchemy magic array, directly extracting energy from the void to supply the consumption.
Hyperdimensional mages left the warship and walked into the battlefield alone, their fully liberated true bodies were even larger than some starships, and one after another, wide range and terrifying power of magic bombarded the Dillus without any difference or interval.
Adam didn't know if more legions had joined the battle in the past few months that he had been on a mission. However, the number of legions that he could see now was already half of the number that he had seen in the Titan Plane. It seemed like the command center wanted to win the first battle with a crushing victory.
However, all of this had nothing to do with the exploration mages. With Sandy, who was off-line, as the leader, they had already set up a banquet in the room.
"These are all good stuff. I have to collect delicious food in every exploration mission. Try this …" Sandy generously took out his collection to entertain everyone. From time to time, he would pass Adam food that he thought was delicious.
Inspired by her, the rest of the Mages also took out the good stuff they had collected. They were all experienced Mages, so they had plenty of strange things in their storage. Apart from eating them, the things they found were quite useful, too. A Mage with wings even took out the heart of a Void Bird of Death. If an apprentice Mage who was close to the peak of the Body Refining Realm were to obtain it, they would have a great chance of upgrading their bloodline to the official level.
In comparison, Adam was much poorer. The Dragon Plane lacked resources, Katos was desolate, and the Titan Plane was full of metal lumps. He rummaged through his collection and found that he had nothing to show for it.
"Is that really okay? The rest of the Mages are fighting, and we are … "Adam felt that the situation was not right. If they were in an ordinary army, they would probably be punished for disturbing the morale of the troops.
However, these things were quite tasty. Adam recalled the first time he walked into the cafeteria when he first arrived at Moldova College. He remembered that at that time, he had the idea of learning Magic Cooking, but later, his need for food became lower and lower. When he reached the official level, he could even use Magic to replace all the consumption of the human body, so he threw the idea to the back of his mind.
Sandy waved his hand carelessly. "Don't worry, the exploration mages have always been like this. No one will blame us. You see, they didn't give us any follow-up missions, so it's time for vacation. Besides, this might be the last chance for us to see each other."
The rest of the Mages nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Adam was a little confused, Sandy explained, "This battle means that the war against Dillus the Devourer has officially begun. From now on, the exploration mages will be useless. I think in a while, someone will come to settle our payment, and then we will return to the World of Mages."
Adam thought about it and realized that it was true. Based on the attitude of the Mages at the registration office, Adam estimated that he would not be able to join the official army. After reaching this coordinate, it would all be occupied by the enemy, and high-level Dillus could be found everywhere. With his level, he would not be able to take on any exploration missions, so he would really become an idle person.
Time passed quickly, and the dust of the battle outside gradually settled. The combat mages who had been on standby in the fleet rushed to the asteroid belt in groups, preparing for the ground battle. On the high battlefield, the Hyperdimensional Mages had obtained an overwhelming advantage. Now, they were carefully preventing the level eight Dillus from doing anything desperate and self-destructing. Meanwhile, in the warship, the banquet was also coming to an end.
As Sandy expected, a senior combat staff officer knocked on the door. After entering, he ignored the sloppiness of the exploration mages and said with a smile, "Everyone, due to your efforts, the first battle went very smoothly. On behalf of the command center, I'm here to give you your payment. Long story short, do you want resources or Origin?"
There was nothing to hesitate about. Including Adam, everyone chose Origin. The combat staff officer seemed to have already prepared for it. He handed over eight sealed crystals that stored Origin to everyone, then said, "The payment is complete. The following battle will no longer require your strength, so you will need to leave the fleet before the ground battle ends."
This sounded like getting rid of the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness, but everyone was used to it.
The combat staff officer then said, "The warship's teleportation hall will open a portal to the Gate of Truth for you. After that, you can decide whether to stay or leave, including directly returning to the World of Sorcerers."
After the staff officer left, Sandy spread out her hands to Adam. "You see, that's it. In a real battle, the infiltration mages are more professional than us in carrying out espionage missions, the combat mages are stronger than us in frontal combat, and the command mages are better at controlling warships. So, mercenaries like us are useless. It's better to leave quietly. "As she spoke, she crushed the seal and absorbed the Origin in an intoxicated manner." Sigh, just a little bit more. Let's exchange communication methods. Our little friend Adam has a channel to get the coordinates of the plane. The price … "
Adam nodded and exchanged Magic Net waves with everyone. "Fair price," he said.
Suddenly, Sandy took out a new communicator and said mysteriously, "You haven't been back to the World of Sorcerers recently, so you don't know about this. It's very good. Communication in the world is much more convenient than the Magic Net, and it doesn't consume any mana.
