Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 1438 - 1436: Despicable Sacrifice

"Don’t misunderstand." Emerson finally responded, looking at the Energy Octopus with the same spiritual waves, responding expressionlessly, "I’m just conducting a test."

"A test, what kind of test?"

"Please be patient for a moment, you’ll know soon. Once everything is complete, you can get the high-level soul sacrifice you want for free."

"Really?"

"Really." Emerson nodded, then under the watchful eye of the Energy Octopus, signaled the many wizards to distance themselves, vaguely surrounding the Energy Octopus, without any concern, issued orders to the surrounding wizards: "The target has successfully arrived, the state basically matches the expectation, so next, execute according to Plan No. 1 — all members cooperate, first use powerful spells to attack the target, strive to inflict maximum damage in the shortest time, to serve as a weakening effect."

"Understood." The other wizards nodded, with no hesitation began operating mana, the next moment, twelve small suns seemed to rise from their hands, including Emerson, inside the Heavenly Pit, the momentum was not too large, but the power was extremely concentrated, mercilessly striking the Energy Octopus.

"Boom... boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

Continuous explosions sounded, the Energy Octopus seemed to be hit by twelve solid cannonballs, under the effect of great force, flew out directly, hitting the wall of the Heavenly Pit before stopping.

Several tentacles flailed chaotically, the Energy Octopus struggled to stand up, glaring at Emerson, conveying in its voice: "What exactly are you doing, is it to attack me?"

"It’s a misunderstanding, we weren’t attacking you, but the location where you happened to be standing. You just happened to block us there, so the attack fell on you, Mr. High Spirit." Emerson said without even blinking.

"Really? Then I apologize to you." The Energy Octopus somewhat incredulously accepted Emerson’s explanation, even taking the initiative to apologize, then urged, "Then, has your test been completed, when can I take away the high-level soul you are sacrificing? I can hardly wait to taste its mature flavor."

"Please wait a bit longer, because of your obstruction, our previous test failed, so we need to test again." Emerson responded.

"Then hurry, and don’t make any more mistakes." The Energy Octopus replied patiently.

"Alright." Emerson replied with spiritual waves, turned to look at the other wizards, his expression becoming somewhat serious, "It seems the first attack didn’t achieve a desirable effect, it didn’t effectively weaken the target. This time, let’s aim to cover all parts of its body with the attack to try and find potential weak points."

"Yes." The numerous wizards responded.

Some wizards glanced strangely at the Energy Octopus, whispering: "Is this... guy really going to let us keep attacking like this? Is this so-called high spirit’s intelligence really that low?"

"It’s not that it has low intelligence, but it doesn’t know about lying." Emerson glared at the questioning wizard, "All this is in the plan’s intelligence, if you had read it in enough detail, you’d know that the target we chose is a relatively weaker one among the high spirits.

Its lifespan is relatively short, and it’s highly likely it hasn’t encountered any other wise life forms apart from us. Even if it did encounter them, it hasn’t been deliberately trapped and attacked, so its vigilance is very poor, let alone knowing about deception.

So, we can treat it in the way we are now. But don’t underestimate the other party, they indeed don’t know about lies, but after experiencing it a few times, they will eventually react.

What we need to do is weaken them as much as possible before they figure it out, so we can successfully capture it. Alright, don’t waste time, prepare to attack."

"Yes."

Once again, the wizards operated their mana, the next moment, multiple beams of light, multiple light balls flew toward the Energy Octopus, exploding upon contact, delivering a more comprehensive blow to the Energy Octopus.

"Boom!"

The Energy Octopus, just managing to stand, staggered under the blow, full of anger as it questioned Emerson: "You’ve made another mistake!"

"Indeed, I apologize to you for this time, considering it cancels out with your previous apology." Emerson said, "Next, I hope you give us one more opportunity to test, whether successful or not, you can take the soul sacrifice you want."

Energy Octopus: "..." A moment of silence, as if thinking.

Before the Energy Octopus could respond, Emerson shouted first: "Everyone, attention, I’ve noticed the target’s head seems quite vulnerable, next time we all concentrate on attacking the head area, understood?"

"Understood!"

"Prepare to attack!"

For the third time, the wizards operated their mana. At this point, the Energy Octopus watched the energy lighting up in the hands of the twelve wizards, as if finally realizing something, several tentacles rose, hundreds and thousands of eyes on the tentacles looked over simultaneously, spiritual waves roaring: "I see now, you’re not conducting tests, you simply want to attack me... Saying you want to sacrifice souls to me is false... You people, whose words and actions don’t match, are completely disruptors of the world of rules, I no longer intend to trade with you, I’m going to take your souls and sacrifices, and return directly."

As soon as the words fell, before the wizards could complete their spell preparations and launch an attack, the Energy Octopus moved first. Several tentacles extended, like long whips lashing out. As the whips sliced through the air, it seemed as if space itself was being cut open, streaks of black lines appeared in the view, rapidly approaching Emerson and the others. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Emerson watched, decisively halting the accumulation of powerful spells, calmly shouted: "The target has already begun to perceive the truth of the plan, everyone under the premise of protecting yourselves, attack freely, try your best to continue weakening the opponent."

After speaking, Emerson stepped lightly, his body drifting to the left, easily avoiding the black lines, then waving his hand to form a pale blue ice spear, emitting billowing white cold air, hurling it toward the tentacles supporting the Energy Octopus.

"Yes."

The other wizards responded to Emerson’s words, also halting their respective half-prepared spells, attempting to dodge the Energy Octopus’s attack, and using various spells to attack.

"Boom boom!"

"Bang bang!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Fireballs, light beams, ice spears, and acid liquid continuously fell on the Energy Octopus, though they didn’t cause significant injury, they did cause the Energy Octopus considerable pain, making it extremely furious.

"You group of sacrificers are simply...the most unqualified sacrificers I’ve ever encountered...I don’t want to see you...I never want to see you again...you should all turn to dust..." The Energy Octopus sharply voiced with spiritual waves, extremely angry, but due to lacking in language, after speaking, it always felt like something was missing.

However, although the words felt lacking, the Energy Octopus’s actions were not merciful, "swoosh," suddenly, all tentacles extended, occupying almost half the Heavenly Pit. Then the tentacles swung frantically, attacking Emerson and his group.
