Free Web NovelChapter 392: Chapter 392: Picking an Easy Target
ROAR!
Giant waves surged, crashing toward the lone island.
The island looked solitary and helpless.
Faced with such terrifying waves, everyone could only fend for themselves.
It was impossible to stop them.
Some tried to stop the giant waves, but to little effect.
The waves had already formed, carrying the immense power of nature itself—a force that could no longer be altered by human effort alone.
BOOM!
A hundred-meter-tall wave slammed directly into the mountain forest, submerging vast swathes of trees in an instant.
The surge spread up the mountain peak, reaching halfway up the slope.
SPLASH!
A huge amount of seawater receded back into the ocean.
In many places, only the treetops remained visible.
Many creatures on the island were also swept into the ocean; some had died the moment the waves crashed down.
Li Wei looked down. "At this rate, it’ll take a full day for the water on the island to drain."
Eiris said, "Even if it drains, there could be a second or a third wave."
"If they can summon one, they can definitely summon more."
"This was supposed to be a contest of champions, but now it’s a battle for survival."
Eiris sounded somewhat helpless.
The competition was supposed to last for three days.
But clearly, someone wasn’t satisfied with a three-day event.
They wanted to end the competition on the very first day.
Meteor bombardments, towering tidal waves...
’Who knows what other crazy stunts these Mages will pull?’
"Everyone, let’s deal with the Elemental Tower Mages first! Their area-of-effect destruction is too powerful! This must be their scheme!" someone floating in mid-air shouted.
"Yeah! Using meteors and tsunamis is way against the rules!" another person chimed in with support.
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked toward the group from the Elemental Tower.
The few who had previously landed in the forest had been forced to fly up again to escape the threat of the giant wave.
They were still caught in the aftermath, looking rather disheveled.
Already miserable and in a foul mood, the Elemental Tower Mages grew even more incensed when they heard the accusations.
"Are you kidding me? Who said we caused the tsunami?"
"Our own people almost drowned, and you think *we* did it?" an Elemental Mage argued back forcefully.
"You’re the ones who are ridiculous!" the accuser shot back without mercy. "Look around! Who here has that kind of power? Besides you Mages from the Elemental Tower, who else could summon a tsunami?"
On the surface, it seemed most likely that the Elemental Tower Mages had created the tsunami.
After all, Mages from the other Mage Towers weren’t skilled in this type of Magic.
"Stop making excuses. It was you."
"Fuck! If you’ve got a problem, let’s fight! All this yapping is annoying as hell!"
The hot-tempered Elemental Mage had already started a fight.
"Thundercloud Storm!"
Taking advantage of the fact that most people were still in the air, the irascible Thunder Element Mage unhesitatingly unleashed a Tier Five Magic.
RUMBLE, RUMBLE!
The clear sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds as thunder echoed across the heavens.
Lightning flashed.
Everyone’s faces filled with horror.
"Holy shit, fight your own battles! Why are you dragging me into this?!"
Some turned to flee the attack’s range, while others launched bold counterattacks.
"Illusion Technique! Eye of Chaos!"
The Thunder Element Mage made eye contact with a Mage from the Illusion Spirit Tower.
The lightning bursting from the Thundercloud Storm in the sky struck down at the people from the Elemental Tower, Alchemy Tower, and Summoning Tower.
The Mages from the Space Tower had already fled.
The Thunder Element Mage was briefly confused by the Eye of Chaos.
He snapped out of it quickly, but when he did, he was even more furious.
"Thunderous Force!"
ROAR!
Hundreds of lightning bolts rained down from the thunderclouds above.
It was an indiscriminate attack on everyone within range.
No one even had time to curse.
They were all desperately trying to block the lightning strikes and escape the range of the Thundercloud Storm.
When it came to large-scale Attack Magic, the Elemental Tower held an absolute advantage.
In terms of numbers, the Summoning Tower had the advantage. freёwebnovel.com
Just as everyone escaped the range of the Thundercloud Storm, they found themselves surrounded by Flying Magical Beasts and were thrown into a frantic, chaotic battle.
Li Wei dodged while simultaneously striking back, killing the Flying Magical Beasts that got too close.
From time to time, he also had to watch out for the Thunder Serpents zipping past him.
He shook his head and said, "It’s chaos. Complete chaos."
Eiris chuckled. "It’s more interesting when things get lively."
"Watch your back."
Li Wei’s eyes were sharp; he noticed a figure approaching Eiris from behind and quickly warned him.
Eiris reacted instantly.
"Frost Ring!"
An icy-blue ring of frost rapidly expanded outward from Eiris.
CRACKLE!
The figure behind him was hit by the Frost Ring. Its body was covered in a thick layer of white frost, its movements growing stiff.
Eiris followed up with a "Frost Burst".
BANG!
The frost that had condensed on the figure shattered, releasing an even more terrifyingly low temperature—enough to freeze any living thing in an instant.
CRACK!
Eiris turned to look. The one frozen solid was a Shadow Assassin.
A Summoned Creature from some Summoner.
Shadow Assassins had a relatively high resistance to Magic.
Even after being hit by Eiris’s combo attack, it wasn’t dead, merely slowed down considerably and frozen in place.
"Let me."
WHOOSH!
A blue Fireball flew toward the frozen Shadow Assassin.
BANG!
The flames exploded, and the Shadow Assassin’s figure dissipated within them.
Eiris glanced at Li Wei and said, "Thanks."
"Don’t mention it."
Li Wei looked around. The Mages still fighting in mid-air were basically Summoners and Elemental Mages.
The Alchemists and Illusionists had already retreated.
They weren’t skilled in this kind of large-scale, chaotic battle.
Illusionists excelled in one-on-one combat, manipulating their opponents without them even realizing it.
Alchemists excelled in prepared battles. freewёbnoνel.com
Against Illusionists, they could create Awakening Potions to grant maximum immunity to Illusion Techniques.
Against Summoners, they could create Special Effect Potions specifically targeting Summoned Creatures.
The Mages from the five top Mage Towers each had their own strengths.
CAW CAW CAW!
Several Flying Magical Beasts surrounded Li Wei and Eiris.
Li Wei looked surprised as he gazed into the distance.
Two Summoning Mages were sitting on the back of a flying batfish-like creature.
"There are two lone Elemental Mages over there—one Ice and one Fire. Their Magic will interfere with each other, so they can’t use their full power. Let’s take them out while we have the chance."
The two groups were some distance apart.
Eiris couldn’t quite hear their conversation.
But Li Wei had sharp hearing and heard every single word.
He chuckled to himself. ’They actually think this is an unmissable opportunity.’
’Aren’t they underestimating me a little too much?’
’Does an Ice Mage’s Magic really have to interfere with a Fire Mage’s?’
The two summoned more Magic Beasts to besiege Li Wei and Eiris, trying to exhaust their Mana.
Then they would deliver the final blow.
All Summoners have their own Lifebound Summoned Beast.
The surrounding Summoned Beasts were not high-Level, and Li Wei and Eiris could handle them easily. They definitely weren’t the opponents’ Lifebound Summoned Beasts.
While dealing with the small fry, they also had to be wary of their opponents’ Lifebound Summoned Beasts.
Eiris said, "I’ll handle the Summoned Beasts. You deal with those two directly."
"Roger that."
