Cultivating in the Wizard World
Chapter 355 - 317: How Should a Wizard Allocate Stat Points?
On Koger’s face, composed of metal and slime, the previously confident grin froze.
The panic and chaos he had anticipated from the wizards did not occur.
On the contrary, the psychic waves emanating from the wizard leader, known as Dixon, showed not fear, but rather a sense of... resignation?
Perhaps even a trace of displeasure at being underestimated?
As Koger was filled with doubt, Dixon suddenly seemed to sense something and turned his head to look beside him at the empty space.
The space there rippled like water, and a shadowy figure quietly emerged—it was the Seventh Level Wizard, Obelus.
His gaze, as though it could devour light, swept across the battlefield and finally rested on Dixon, speaking with a metallic, friction-like quality: "It seems you’ve been completely underestimated, Dixon."
Upon hearing this, Dixon showed a depressed expression and shrugged: "Today’s luck really isn’t great, but I didn’t expect it to be so bad that they’d think we only know Elemental Tricks."
The appearance of Obelus was a clear signal—the Super Giant Sealing Array targeting the outer Triangular Plane Community was now completely set, with no cause for concern.
Koger’s heart sank.
He realized that his "Elemental Silence Domain" seemed not to have achieved the desired effect.
The opponent not only remained unflustered, but appeared to be watching a boring farce.
"Impossible! With the elements neutralized, how could you possibly..." Koger’s psychic waves trembled with disbelief.
However, the two golden giant apes from other civilizations couldn’t care less.
In their perception, the Forbidden Magic Domain was their absolute home turf reliant solely on physical strength!
Dixon’s earlier display of power instinctually made them wary, but now, the shackles seemed placed on the opposite side!
"Roar! If you won’t surrender, then die!" one of the golden apes roared, the sound wave spreading out like a tangible shockwave.
Their massive bodies were taut, and their golden fur stood on end, projecting a terrifying aura skyward.
They stomped the void, causing the solidified air to crack like a spider web, turning into two golden streaks of light tearing through the sky, rushing towards Dixon and Obelus at terrifying speed!
The momentum seemed enough to smash stars into pieces!
Faced with this continent-shaking charge, neither Dixon nor Obelus moved from their spot.
Dixon merely shifted slightly, extending his right hand as if casually to reach out and push forward.
Obelus was even more straightforward, his shadow-cloaked fist swinging out plainly yet swiftly.
Bang!!
Boom!!
Two immensely deep, yet battlefield-echoing thuds exploded almost simultaneously!
Under Koger and Shira’s stunned gaze, the two imposing golden giant apes exuding Eighth Level pressure were sent flying back with even greater speed, screaming!
Their massive bodies tumbled uncontrollably in the air, clearly revealing a deep fist imprint and a massive palm imprint on their chests!
The two hundred-meter tall golden apes traced out parabolas, finally crashing down like meteors into the battle-ready main legion array of the Giant Spirit Realm below!
Rumble!!!
All at once, the ground shook and mountains trembled!
Dust mixed with metal fragments and flesh soared into the sky.
The point where the golden apes landed instantly cleared two craters several kilometers in diameter!
The immense impact caused their bodies to continue rolling back, forcefully plowing two huge trenches.
Countless War Giant Beasts and heavy warships of the Giant Spirit Realm were crushed and exploded beneath their rolling bodies, and the cascading explosions alongside the terrifying bodies turned that area into a purgatory!
"No... impossible!" Koger’s psychic waves shook violently, almost unraveling.
Under his incredulous gaze, Dixon disdainfully ripped off the slightly loose wizard robe he wore, casually tossing it below.
Underneath the robe, what was revealed was not the frail body of a scholar, but a perfect physique seemingly forged from some kind of dark golden metal!
His muscle lines were sleek and filled with explosive power, and faint runes flowed on the surface of his skin, exuding an oppressive aura that made hearts palpitate.
He moved his neck, producing a crisp sound of bones, and looked arrogantly at Koger and Shira, "Who told you all that we wizards only know how to manipulate elements?"
Beside him, although Obelus said nothing, the shadow covering his body twisted.
A set of intimidating, fully enclosed heavy armor, shimmering with a dark luster, replaced the previous black robe, arming him into a steel War God.
The source of a wizard’s power has always been "knowledge"!
Using knowledge to leverage power, manipulating elements is simply the most common and convenient method.
Training a cannon fodder legion is knowledge in action, developing various forms of element manipulation witchcraft is knowledge in action, and utilizing biochemical technology, elemental body refinement, genetic optimization, and mechanical modification to hone one’s body into a terrifying weapon not inferior to any melee race is also an embodiment of using knowledge to leverage power!
For most official wizards who have experienced multiple plane wars and understand the importance of a "trump card," having robust close combat capabilities is often their most deeply hidden and reliable means of survival.
Below, the wizard army quickly regained their composure after the initial brief commotion, precisely because of this reason.
Moreover, their methods do not stop here.
Jeming felt the inert element environment outside, although controlling the [Great Light Appearance] array indeed felt noticeably sluggish, requiring more spiritual power to "push" those coagulated elements, yet he did not panic.
Because his Talisman Witchcraft system had already considered the combat needs in extreme environments.
The three metal discs embedded in the center of the array as core energy sources were steadily outputting surging energy, supporting the operation of the talisman.
Looking across the battlefield, the allied forces of the Giant Spirit Realm and the Mind Realm were greatly reduced in combat effectiveness due to the "Elemental Silence Domain."
While on the wizard’s side, although the conventional area witchcraft was severely restricted, the overall combat effectiveness was not as weakened as much as the other side imagined.
Many wizards skillfully tore off the obstructive wizard robes.
Some revealed mutated bodies covered with scales or chitinous shells, with bulging muscles; others had bodies that swelled as if inflated, transforming into roaring giant beasts; others summoned streamlined heavy power armor or massive combat mechas from spatial equipment, swiftly completing their arming.
Furthermore, some displayed shields and weapons formed directly from pure energy on their body surface...
And there were quite a few wizards like Jeming, who were still able to maintain their witchcraft capabilities relying on personal reserves or special techniques.
Of course, although there were many wizards like Jeming, they were still relatively few compared to the entire wizard legion.
Naturally, wizards like Jeming immediately became the focal points of firepower on the battlefield.
Other wizards, upon seeing this, naturally gravitated towards wizards like Jeming, forming assault formations with them as the core.
After all, when it comes to sweeping away cannon fodder and assaulting strongholds, witchcraft is indeed more efficient.
"No... this is impossible! What kind of monsters are you?!" Koger’s spiritual fluctuations were filled with a collapse-like despair.
Shira’s energy-form body also fluctuated violently, with a strong urge to retreat.
However, Dixon and Obelus wouldn’t give them any opportunity.
"Since you have no other means..." Dixon twisted his wrist and stomped his foot, shattering the void.
"...then you can die!"
He transformed into a streak of dark golden light, shattering the space along his path, appearing instantly in front of Koger and Shira, with double fists carrying the force of space collapsing, punching without any embellishment!
Obelus, on the other hand, fell towards the battlefield below like a black meteor, heading straight for the two golden giant baboons that had just crawled out of a deep pit, overwhelmed with shock and anger!
The heavy armor collided with ferocious flesh, engaging in the most primal melee!
The bold actions of the two Seventh Level Wizards sounded the horn for the wizard legion’s all-out assault!
"Everyone prepare..."
"Crush them!"
Countless wizards let out frenzied battle cries.
Whether they were driving the massive sea of cannon fodder forward, or leading the charge, following their comrades who had transformed into giant beasts, mechas, or enhanced warriors, they surged forward like an unstoppable flood, launching a thundering mass assault on the allied forces with severely dampened morale due to their leader’s setbacks and the invalidation of the domain!
