Chapter 788: Chapter 470: A Complete Transformation (4.8k)_3
The female follower they had just feasted upon belonged to a family involved in the grain business. Although small, the family had several knights—men too intimidating for a street thug like him to provoke.
But now, everything had changed. Today, he was the one the female follower did not dare provoke!
"Thank you, my Lord," he thought as he gazed at the resplendent statue in the middle of the square, feeling even more devout.
Every night, after feasting on a female follower, he would come to the nearest large statue and devoutly pray; it had become a routine.
Tonight was no exception.
But soon, Mar had not even reached the front of the statue when his steps suddenly halted and his gaze sharpened abruptly!
Whoosh!
Before he could react, a pale purple brilliance flashed through the dark night like a whip, instantly binding him and dragging him into the coverage area of the Concealing Orb with lightning speed!
"A Wizard! Is there really a Wizard on the island?!"
Mar’s vision blurred before he finally saw Colin and others; his expression changed drastically.
Initially, it was instinctive fear; however, his religious zeal quickly overtook his emotions. His face darkened as he instinctively summoned his Divine Power to confront Mill.
Buzz!!
Mill, with one hand manipulating the Concealing Orb and the other striving to control the Purple Ring against Mar, braced himself.
Colin and the others didn’t just stand by either—they took action to support!
Ultimately, Mar had missed the initiative; now, amidst the siege of the wizards, he quickly fell into a losing position.
Just as he was about to be killed on the spot, Mar suddenly grinned sinisterly and bellowed,
"Fourth Rank Wizards... no matter what your purpose is for sneaking onto Lanshengxi Island, I will never let you harm my Lord!"
With that, he exploded into a blinding golden light, and the temperature of his whole body skyrocketed suddenly, transforming him into a dazzling figure made of molten rock in the blink of an eye.
After being pulled into the domain covered by the World Sphere, Mar realized he could no longer contact the Divine.
As merely a Pope, he was not significant enough for the Divine to watch over all the time, so he chose to launch the loudest attack he could muster without hesitation!
The invisible Divine Power within him burned fiercely like gasoline!
Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
On his orange skin, glowing like molten rock, magma bubbles formed and shattered, highly unstable.
Mar’s mouth slightly open, he seemed to have lost consciousness, not even sure if he was still alive.
But the mutation of his body had not yet ceased; a dangerous aura was rapidly growing along with his swelling body!
"He’s going to explode!"
Mill’s face darkened slightly. He took a deep breath, his body flickering with Spiritual Light and instantly transformed into a semi-transparent blue silhouette rushing towards Mar.
This was the unique Spiritual Body of a Fourth Rank Wizard, a fusion of physical essence!
In mid-air, Mill’s body expanded steadily, then suddenly transformed into a light blue stream of water, swiftly enveloping Mar, now a ball of scorching molten rock.
The effect of the Concealing Orb had its limits; if Mar were allowed to explode, it would certainly expose them.
Under Mill’s full restraint, the unstable glowing red molten rock that Mar had transformed into gradually ceased spreading.
The wizards all heaved a sigh of relief.
"We might be in trouble,"
Mill’s face appeared on the constantly flowing pale blue water, looking towards the Transmission Array’s main body just beginning to be constructed, her expression grim.
"I can’t spare the energy to build the main body of the Transmission Array."
"This mass of Divine Power-composed glowing red molten rock cannot be dealt with quickly; it will take at least twenty minutes before we can barely manage, and half an hour to fully dissolve it."
As she finished speaking, the faces of the wizards all darkened.
Only Colin and Yeats were still staring blankly at the mass of searing molten rock that Mar had transformed into.
"Does anyone feel confident about constructing a complete Transmission Array main body?" Mill continued.
Ryden’s face shifted slightly, but ultimately, he did not dare claim complete confidence.
Lance and Jacqueline next to him were even more flustered, their faces showing panic.
Disappointment flickered in Mill’s eyes as she shifted her gaze to Yeats and Colin.
Yeats finally snapped back to reality, feeling everyone’s eyes on him and subconsciously began to explain: "This mass of molten rock reminds me of the disaster Hoy Island faced..."
"Do you feel confident about constructing a complete Transmission Array main body?" Mill interrupted him.
Yeats paused and then shook his head.
Ryden clenched his teeth and stepped forward:
"I can try..."
"I am confident."
Colin’s voice suddenly came through.
Ryden was slightly startled and turned his gaze over.
Colin withdrew his gaze from the molten rock, feeling the fluctuations on the Golden Paper, and intuitively repeated,
"I am confident in constructing the complete Transmission Array main body."
The fluctuations of Divine Power that erupted from Mar before his death seemed to throw a stone into the lake of inspiration in his mind, causing ripples to spread.
Sadly, that stone was still too small to stir up real waves.
"Are you sure you’re fully confident in constructing the Transmission Array main body, Colin?" Mill continued.
Feeling the surprised gaze of everyone, Colin finally snapped back to clarity, paused, and continued calmly,
"I am sure."
This was not the time to hide his talents.
With that thought, he emphasized again,
"Before coming here, I simulated it many times with crystals and successfully constructed the entire Transmission Array."
