Lap frowned, dismissing his intention to attack again.
The attacks were nothing more than a meaningless drain.
Unless he went all out, with Arman's current state, relying on these ordinary attacks alone, let alone inflicting damage, they couldn't even deplete Arman's energy.
"Roar!"
The dark red creatures beside Arman also began to attack the protective shield!
Bang, bang, bang!
With their sheer numbers, the noise they created was impressively loud.
But Lap remained unconcerned.
To him, anyone below an Official Wizard... was nothing but an ant.
His primary focus remained on Arman.
Arman's face, which seemed both divine and human, showed no emotion as he continued to bombard the shield.
The protective shield shook like jelly, but it showed no sign of breaking.
The situation had ground to a stalemate.
The apprentices below seemed to sense that the situation was not as dire as they had imagined, or perhaps that Teacher Lap was as powerful as they had thought.
In any case, once they noticed that Arman seemed unable to break the protective shield, their expressions gradually eased.
Colin watched the monsters standing outside the protective shield not far away.
He was slightly taken aback,
Before, Arman and his group of creatures had made such an imposing display in Blackstone City, but now they were firmly excluded outside the Witch Array.
Not far in front of him,
A three-meter-tall creature covered in spikes was using every trick to continuously assault the protective shield, every move it made exuding an impressive aura!
If it was against his current defense, and if he were to stand still and let it attack, he probably would not last two minutes before being breached.
But such a powerful attack only managed to cause faint ripples in the face of the Witch Array.
Only the powerful attacks from Arman's massive blood-colored figure could cause the protective shield to shake violently.
Colin's anxious heart gradually settled.
The outcome of this incident might have been set the moment Wizard Lap made the cold-hearted and rational decision to avoid the limelight temporarily.
In this world fraught with peril, Wizard Lap, who had lived for nearly three hundred years, was far stronger and more experienced than he had imagined.
Boom!
As if realizing that the shield in front of him was beyond his power, Arman increased the frequency of his attacks.
Their power grew stronger and stronger!
Seeing this, Wizard Lap clenched his magic wand, but his expression became more and more relaxed.
His own set of Witch Array was upgraded from the foundation of the ruling Blackstone Family on the original island.
Even against a Second Rank Wizard, it could last at least half an hour.
If Arman had only this level of strength, then breaking the Witch Array before the end of the projection was nothing but a pipe dream.
Just when everyone thought the situation was under control.
Midway up the mountain,
Swoosh!
A lean dark red figure, using the cover of night, approached the Wizard Territory. At the end of its wand-like right hand, a crimson light shone.
Soon, it merged into the group of dark red creatures like a drop of water.
It had just arrived at the foot of Arman's massive body.
"Damn it!"
Arman outside the shield cursed angrily, seemingly aware that his defeat was inevitable.
He raised his arm, and a blood-colored mist gathered quickly at his fingertips like a stream, coalescing into a human head-sized red and black sphere.
As soon as the sphere formed, it detached from his fingertip and moved towards the protective shield, seemingly slow but actually fast.
Wizard Lap's gaze tightened as he increased the output of Magic Power.
The translucent protective shield visibly solidified a bit more.
Hiss!
The black and red sphere touched the shield, not making much noise other than a slight sizzling sound.
But the Witch Array protective shield flickered unstably, constantly pulled and twisted by the black and red sphere!
Lap's expression grew grave.
"Teacher Lap..." an apprentice below muttered worriedly.
Colin also watched the black and red sphere blocked by the translucent protective shield from not far away, but he could do nothing.
These wizards could only stand by and watch the battle.
Even peak apprentices like Berkeley were utterly unable to join the current fray.
... The Witch Array also relied on Magic Stone Veins as an energy source and did not require their Magic Power input.
Colin looked away, sighing slightly to himself.
The next second, he was slightly startled.
In the peripheral vision granted by his Supersensitive Vision, he caught a glimpse of an unusual dark red creature.
It was slim, with a wand-like right hand, and its body shone with a crimson light as strong as the spiky creature's, far more powerful than the other dark red creatures!
At that moment, it stood at Arman's feet, gradually sublimating into a red mist and merging into Arman's body.
Within the red mist, a flash of gold could be faintly seen.
For some reason, Colin's heart suddenly filled with an inexplicable panic.
With a thought, the light of witchcraft flickered on his body.
And at that moment, even before the light of the witchcraft on Colin's body had vanished,
A huge crimson palm passed through the protective shield as if there were no obstacles and struck at Wizard Lap!!
The crimson palm, as tangible as the black and red sphere, had tiny red and black sparks flickering around it, exuding a terrifying might.
Lap's expression changed drastically!
Without bothering to figure out why the Witch Array was ineffective, he focused all his concentration on wielding his magic wand to defend himself.
The protective shield of the Witch Array lost his support and could no longer withstand the power of the black and red sphere.
Crack!!
It shattered like glass.
Boom!!!
The black and red sphere exploded violently.
...
In a corner of Blackstone City,
Harrington gripped a dark golden wand, staring fixedly in the direction of the Wizard Territory, his eyes brimming with anticipation.
Watching the black and red flames rise in the Wizard Territory as expected, he felt a surge of satisfaction!
