Under the Red Dragon

What is magic?

In the eyes of those legendary spellcasters, magic is the reshaping and manipulation of magical elemental energies in the world, combining their imagination with their knowledge.

It is then the process of manifesting magical effects in a specific way within a specific area.

Therefore, even if two legendary spellcasters release the same spell in the same area, the effects they exhibit may be different.

In the words of the ancestral red dragon Kalon Kogmora, these legendary spellcasters' spells inherently carry the caster's thoughts, knowledge, and will, which is a completely different level of concept from ordinary mages who only know how to use fixed magic formulas.

Like the combination of plane teleportation and spatial magic knowledge and mastery, it forms a strange cycle in the hands of the legendary mage Reto.

Even the powerful alchemical weapons such as 'Moradin's Wrath' and 'Amat's Fang' launched from the watchtowers around Dorabi's city walls, which wanted to crush and destroy those dragons trapped in the legendary spellcaster's spatial loop channel, could not penetrate this spatial loop channel.

These powerful weapons instantly merged into this layer upon layer of illusory open portals, like hounds forever chasing the bodies of those eternally falling adult giant dragons, yet unable to touch them.

Even the descent of other dragons that swept away their watchtowers, and the support of the Golden Empire's Imperial Guards and Storm Giants, could not cause any damage to this seemingly simple spell of the legendary mage.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Under the eruption of the magic core, strong energy spewed out from the injection ports at the ankle armor of the Imperial Guards' heavy armor, like two blazing streams of liquid flame.

This power allows those Imperial Guards who are bound by heavy armor and have no flying ability to temporarily break away from the gravity of the earth and float in mid-air.

The heavy magic-powered armor, weighing several tons, is not only a thick defensive layer but also loaded with many complex energy transmission link systems, and the individual flight power system transmission control link is one of them.

Although the Empire's current technology cannot yet condense and load the war mainframe into these heavy armors, allowing the Imperial Guards to control their armor more easily.

But every Imperial Guard has undergone long-term training, and controlling their heavy armor does not seem difficult.

Some Imperial Guards even had their first battle after joining the Imperial Guard taken by those Imperial Guard commanders to small, remote military strongholds opened up by the Golden Empire in the Abyss and Hell for training.

The northern plane coordinates of the Golden Empire and even the entire northern continent of Ikania have been blacklisted by those devils and demons near Ikania, but it doesn't matter.

Demons and devils don't like to come to the world of Ikania, but the Golden Empire likes to go to the Abyss and Hell.

Although the strongholds established by these Imperial Guards are all selected in remote corners of the Abyss and Hell, they are not blindly arrogant because of their strength, thinking that with the strength of the Golden Empire, they can run rampant in the Abyss and Hell.

But no matter how remote the Abyss and Hell are, there will never be a shortage of demons and devils that can be used as training targets.

So every Imperial Guard does not rely solely on their armor and strength, they are the strongest legions forged from blood and fire.

"This is not a simple superposition of teleportation magic, pure violence cannot solve this problem!"

The Centurion of the Imperial Guard floated in the air, the magic-powered penetrating gun barrel installed on his shoulder and the hand cannon on his armored wrist emitted wisps of magical afterglow.

"Call for air support, let the aerial mage tower teleport the Empire's reserve mage legion, and call the Empire's mage legions to solve this problem!"

This Centurion of the Imperial Guard ordered his soldiers: "We need to retreat temporarily, the legendary spellcaster in this stronghold is not a target we can solve, clear the other strongholds completely first!"

"Roger! Prepare to retreat!"

"Received the order! Executing tactics!"

The Imperial Guard soldiers below, organized into squads of three, retreated one after another.

Several Storm Giants swept their huge steel forks horizontally, repelling the densely packed otherworldly creatures, magic puppets, and the massive clay golem legions that existed as cannon fodder that began to pour out of the watchtower stronghold, and began to retreat in other directions following the footsteps of the Imperial Guard soldiers.

These otherworldly creatures summoned by the legendary spellcaster Reto by opening the gate to another world, and the alchemical creations accumulated by this spellcaster in his years of growth, quickly formed a real legion.

And they are still pouring out of the watchtower continuously, and in a moment, as many as hundreds of vassal warriors occupy this entire section of the Dorabi City wall defense line, surrounding the entire watchtower stronghold tightly.

This is just the basic operation of a legendary mage, and this is because Reto, this legendary spellcaster, has been promoted to legendary for too short a time and does not have enough time to accumulate his own wealth in addition to exploring magical knowledge.

Moreover, Reto is good at spatial magic, and although he also has knowledge of alchemy magic, it does not belong to his specialty.

If it were in front of those legendary spellcasters who are good at alchemy magic and know that they will not be able to make progress in a short time and have sufficient time, they only need to open the demiplane they created, and a golem legion and magic auxiliary spellcasting puppets several times larger than this can instantly pour out.

Legendary high-ranking mages who monopolize high-end knowledge and master power know the convenience and power of large-scale cluster operations better than ordinary legion commanders.

If you have the strength to face a legendary mage head-on, but find that those mages only use spells and magical secret treasures to fight against you, there is only one possibility.

This legendary mage's family fortune has been emptied when exploring, conquering, and plundering resources and treasures from other small planes.

Up to now, the magical power stored in the legendary mage Reto has not consumed even five percent, relying on the entire stronghold's extraction, imprisonment, and control of magical elemental energy.

This legendary mage has blessed himself and his disciples with dense protective spells that make people feel sick at a glance.

'Preemptive Strike, Anti-Magic Field, Spell Fluctuation Detection Induction, Solid Barrier, Unbreakable Bulwark,' and other spells from low-level to high-level are squandered by this legendary mage.

So that the sound of the magic incantation recited in the mouth of the auxiliary spellcasting assistant created by this legendary spellcaster with reference to the simulation spell has never stopped.

But this legendary spellcaster, who did not feel any pressure even when facing a legion-scale war, suddenly changed his face, and his magic detection was completely ineffective at this time.

He couldn't help but look out from the window on the third floor of the watchtower towards the hillside, and a breath that made even the legendary spellcaster feel extremely terrifying suddenly rose above the earth.

That terrifying majesty was like an avatar of a god descending into the mortal world of Ikania at this moment, that was a figure of the same level as the Golden Empire's True Dragon Emperor Kalon Kogmora taking action.

The multi-armed giant king Mogyes!

At the same time, the entire Dorabi defense line was trapped in the quagmire of war, without any extra firepower to suppress the giant legions and monster legions that were charging upwards from the foot of the mountain, allowing those monsters to rush within two hundred meters below the city wall.

And the multi-armed giant Mogyes, the Frost Giant King Ragnar Heg, and the Sun Elf Selythius, hidden in the giant army, finally appeared in the public's sight without any concealment.

The original size of that terrifying multi-armed giant Mogyes was only about the same as an ordinary hill giant, but with each step upward, the size of this multi-armed giant was released by one point.

When this multi-armed giant Mogyes came within a few hundred meters of the mountain top city wall, this giant was already as high as a mountain.

This is not an exaggerated adjective, but a very ordinary descriptive word.

A mountain of tens of meters is a small hill, but a giant nearly a hundred meters high is a majestic mountain.

Dong, dong, dong.

Every step this multi-armed giant took forward shook the mountain ridge under his feet like a ground dragon turning over.

Even if the magic nodes of the entire Dorabi Mountains were controlled, so that the multi-armed giant Mogyes could not borrow too much external energy, it seemed that this did not affect the terrifying strength of this giant.

The snow-white bones of the Supreme Heaven Titan were like hideous bone armor inlaid on this three-headed four-armed giant, and in the gaps of this hideous bone armor were the muscles and meridians of the multi-armed giant like the ups and downs of the earth veins.

Along with the heavy breathing of this multi-armed giant, huge thick white mists rolled out from between the three heads' nostrils.

Those noble legion warriors who were slaughtered and ravaged by the Golden Guards and Storm Giants, and forced to retreat; those elite legions and great knights who were still struggling to resist the spells and claws of the dragons;

Marlino the Grand Duke Lorne, who was still fighting with several adult giant dragons, and several other legendary-level combat forces, all couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

"Switch targets, all alchemical weapons and magic-guided heavy artillery fire on that giant!"

Marlino the Grand Duke roared and issued the order, his face pale as he fell into the watchtower.

Compared to dragons, human bodies are small and weak, even legendary warriors who claim to be able to bathe in lava magma cannot compete with an adult giant dragon by relying on their physical strength alone.

The attack power of a legendary warrior can kill any adult giant dragon, but the warrior's body cannot withstand the dragon's bite and destructive tearing like a giant dragon.

Marlino the Grand Duke Lorne can easily defeat several adult giant dragons in the sky with his skills and the armor and divine sword inherited for thousands of years.

Because compared to flexible enemies like humans, dragons' slow reaction and huge body in battle also become another weakness, but at this moment, facing the multi-armed giant Mogyes, he does not even have the courage to raise the divine sword.

Even though giants and dragons are also accustomed to relying on their strong scales and extremely solid skin defense in battle, and rarely adopt protection and avoidance strategies.

If it is said that Marlino the Grand Duke Lorne is afraid of the power of the multi-armed giant Mogyes, then the other four legends are afraid because of the knowledge they have mastered.

The legendary spellcaster Reto was first dazed by the huge size and displayed majesty of this multi-armed giant, and then followed by an uncontrollable fear.

"Abomination!"

Reto's whole body tensed up, and his expression became extremely solemn, which was the instinctive reaction of facing the ultimate predator and destroyer.

In the endless world planes, there will always be some extremely special creatures.

Such as godspawn, abominations, and fiends, etc. These nouns may not be distinguishable in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of legendary-level spellcasters, they are as clear as two related but clear avenues.

Godspawn, as the name implies, has a close relationship with gods.

Most godspawn are the remnants of gods, or the offspring of gods' bloodlines, or creations accidentally produced by the power of gods, or creatures catalyzed by the power of divinity and divine fire.

Fiends are a kind of primordial gods—wild gods. They are a group of ancient and evil powerful existences, most of whom possess powerful powers comparable to demigods, and some can even surpass demigods and even have the ability to destroy the world.

For example, the Chaos Hound who once bit off the arm of a god known as the God of Justice is a representative of them.

And the ancestral red dragon Kalon Kogmora once glimpsed in the spiritual space, the first Leviathan recorded on that stone tablet.

And the 'abomination' kind of creature has a similar fusion with the fiend.

'Abominations' are also those primordial life forms and the bloodline descendants remaining in the world, just like the descendants of the first Leviathan, the Hundred-Armed Giant, and other powerful lives.

The difference between these 'abominations' and fiends is that they do not belong to the primordial gods, but also possess the powerful power of primordial creatures.

And the biggest difference between 'abominations' and fiends is that the driving force and internal core will of fiends are determined at the beginning of their birth, influenced by the power and ability mastered by the fiends.

But 'abominations' are the self-will transformation of certain powerful primordial beings, somewhat similar to certain two 'unknown' gods who destroyed the world in order to have the power to destroy the world.

And the multi-armed giant Mogyes simultaneously possesses the bloodline of the ancient 'abomination' Hundred-Armed Giant and the bloodline of the ancient Multi-Headed Giant.

Although the blood of the Hundred-Armed Giant on the multi-armed giant Mogyes does not seem to occupy the vast majority, it does not count as a real 'abomination', but this multi-armed giant's prestige at this time is unparalleled.

The ability to shrink the body is not a spell effect such as deformation and shrinking in the eyes of the legendary spellcaster Reto, but the effect achieved by the multi-armed giant king with pure physical control ability.

Before the multi-armed giant king Mogyes showed his strongest state, the death knell began to ring in Reto's ears.

Those few alchemical weapons and magic-guided heavy artillery fired out in a hurry, with the buzzing of explosions, were directly crushed in front of the multi-armed giant Mogyes's fist.

Bang.

The space in front of the entire city wall was shaken and swayed by the air shock wave produced by the power of that fist.

And the impact of these heavy artillery and alchemical weapons only slightly paused the advance of this multi-armed giant.

Without a large-scale concentrated fire strike, this multi-armed giant has no other concerns.

"Hehehe..."

The laughter of the multi-armed giant Mogyes resounded throughout the entire Dorabi City, he laughed loudly: "You cowardly dregs, it is your honor to die under my fist!"

Beneath the feet of the legendary spellcaster, Reto, a dense array of magical runes instantly surged forth, constructing a teleportation spell within a second. He needed to gather all legendary-level combatants together to even attempt to face this multi-armed giant, unaffected by the legion's firepower.

But a deadly premonition, like a tidal wave, surged through the fluctuations of his magical defenses. Reto turned his head in astonishment, only to see that unremarkable figure standing on the shoulder of the multi-armed giant, Morgothyes.

The tied-up golden hair became Reto's focal point at that moment. The impossibly large longbow was fully drawn, and the arrow, crafted from the branches of the World Tree, was aimed at Reto.

Of all the threats posed by the multi-armed giant and the two Kings' Alliance legends, this legendary mage was the greatest. Thus, the Sun Elf had already locked onto his target.

"I will die from this arrow," Reto thought in terror.

And so, layers upon layers of spatial portals opened up. He fled!
