CHAPTER 743: CHAPTER 47: THE ROLE OF LEGIONS IN HIGH TIER BATTLES

Facing Richard’s provocation, although White Crystal felt somewhat uncertain, he still let out a sharp insect-like cry.

Even though Richard’s evolution was stronger than his, his strength had not reached the point of crushing him. He had the Energy Storage Rule to back him up, along with his own complete Combat System.

Even if Richard was stronger, at most he could only suppress him by a bit.

And he might even use this opportunity to advance further.

High-pressure combat, especially with creatures that have also undergone Physique Evolution, is the best catalyst for promoting evolution.

Richard saw that White Crystal’s aura was not weak, and his body once again transformed into a formless storm.

White Crystal wanted to use Richard as a catalyst for evolution, and Richard likewise wanted to refine his own skills using White Crystal.

Although White Crystal was a Galaxy Mayfly, by the time they reached the World Master stage, their combat skills had transcended primitive physical techniques.

Their mountain-like bodies, every move they made was a delicate combination of physique and energy.

Although certain specific skills are limited by differing physiques, the vast majority of skills are universal; it’s merely a matter of effectiveness.

In the previous battle, Richard had already learned many skills and applied them in the final strike.

He believed that he could learn even more skills for his own use.

Thus, the two individuals with ulterior motives began their battle once more.

Two storms clashed in the air producing thunder-like rumbling, appearing extremely intense. However, since neither was fully committed, this seemingly intense battle looked somewhat like a performance.

Every action seemed powerful, yet when landing on the opponent, it always felt light.

As long as White Crystal’s Energy Storage Crystal did not surpass the threshold, the stored strength was quite impressive. Although Richard’s body was not as good as the Energy Storage Crystal, he did possess the most suitable Life Rule for Physique Evolution.

Under the effect of the Life Rule, although White Crystal’s attack was constantly destroying Richard’s body, the damaged area was often repaired as soon as it was destroyed.

Both parties’ statistics indicated they were tough and their mechanisms leaned toward defense.

If they wished, they could continue fighting like this for hundreds of years.

Compared with them, the situation on other battlefields didn’t look so good.

In the Thirteen Battle Zone, the Great Wizard of Purgatory Purifying Fire truly lived up to being a Sixth Circle student, expertly managing Shaping Magic, as he suppressed the King of Mayfly across from him. He seemed poised to slay if the King of Mayfly did not start contributing.

In the Twelfth Battle Zone, the newly promoted Great Wizard and the King of Mayfly battled evenly matched.

However, apart from these two zones, the remaining three battle zones were all in precarious condition.

The Kings of Mayfly in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Battle Zones had already begun contributing, although not fully used, their visible increase in combat power was noticeable.

Despite both Great Wizards being veteran Wizards, their knowledge was clearly not enough to completely offset the suppression of power, and they were almost unable to retaliate under the pressure of the two Kings of Mayfly.

The situation in the Eleventh Battle Zone was even heavier, with the Great Wizard of Green Light being in the worst state among the five Great Wizards, on the verge of being slain by the King of Mayfly’s normal state strength.

This kind of achievement in the entire war is deemed remarkable, second only to the early days of the war when someone who was careless and faced rule suppression was ambushed and slain by the King of Mayfly without even using Equal Exchange, a notable fool.

As a deputy commander of the secondary battle zone, Richard naturally couldn’t stand idly by watching his subordinate being slain in the normal state.

Especially when the opponent had just helped with an experiment, theoretically already considered part of his faction.

"Sigh, luckily it’s a weak one, otherwise it wouldn’t be easy to intervene."

Richard sighed inwardly, suddenly launching a dazzling punch towards the distant Eleventh Battle Zone.

White Crystal wanted to intervene, but the next moment Richard entangled him.

Helplessly, he could only watch as the punch flew towards the Eleventh Battle Zone.

Eleventh Battle Zone.

The Rule Body of the Great Wizard of Green Light dimmed, with flecks of red flames scattered across the enormous planetary Rule Body.

These flames continued burning his Magic Power, damaging the structure of his Energy Barrier.

"Damn, if it continues like this, I’m afraid I’ll have to use Equal Exchange."

He had initially sustained significant injuries, and although the Magic Potion had healed him greatly over the past few days, he was still not fully recovered.

The King of Mayfly opposing him, although newly promoted, was in far better condition than he was.

Using conventional methods, he would undoubtedly meet defeat.

But... he didn’t want to die.

He was a new wizard placed onto the battlefield as a teenager. Having experienced the tranquil border skirmishes and participated in brutal front-line wars, his contemporaries as Wizards were already few and far between.

He was fortunate; otherwise, he wouldn’t have grown from a fast-tracked One Ring Wizard to a Four Rings Great Wizard.

There were contemporaries who were smarter and stronger than him.

But that’s no reason for him to be satisfied.

He wanted to continue living, to live until the end of the war, to experience those golden years spoken of by the old Wizards.

Boom!

A loud noise interrupted the Great Wizard of Green Light’s inner drama.

The King of Mayfly flicked its tail, sending a long whip of Elements dyed with red flames crashing onto the Rule Body, sending it flying several kilometers away.

The intricately adjusted Alien Energy seeped into the Energy Barrier like a poison. The fundamental structure of the Energy Barrier was compromised, looking like a pot on the verge of shattering.

For creatures with Spiritual Evolution, emotions cannot make them explode with combat power beyond normal conventions.

Just like a math problem, if you can’t solve it, you can’t solve it. In battles between creatures with Spiritual Evolution, if you can’t win, you can’t win.

Physique Evolution might evolve under pressure, but Spiritual Evolution under pressure only leads to mistakes.

The survival desire of the Great Wizard with Green Light was utterly extinguished by this blow; his direct combat power couldn’t compare to the King of Mayfly, and his battle experience was similar, with intelligence putting him at a large disadvantage.

He had nowhere to go at this moment...

Boom!

A fist light streaked across the sky, landing precisely on the King of Mayfly.

In an instant, a loud explosion was heard, and the space shattered like glass with the King of Mayfly at its center, spreading kilometers away.

At the center, half of the King of Mayfly’s Rule Body vanished, even reaching the deepest core.

If it weren’t for the long distance crossed, allowing the King of Mayfly to sense it.

This strike would have been enough to annihilate the King of Mayfly’s soul.

The Great Wizard with Green Light looked west incredulously.

"Master Richard can still spare a hand?"

Although the battlefield of Richard and White Crystal was far, it was a negligible distance for the World Master.

The Great Wizard with Green Light, though weak in strength, had a remarkable eye. He could see how terrifying Richard’s seemingly silent and tranquil battle truly was.

If he got dragged into their fight, he wouldn’t have caused even a ripple.

Every strike they launched at each other could annihilate him.

Sensing trouble, the King of Mayfly immediately retreated backward. Naturally, the Great Wizard with Green Light couldn’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Just earlier, he was being thrown around like a ball, now it’s his turn to fight back!

But before he could chase two steps, an attack from below forced him to halt his actions.

On the ground, the massive mayfly battle group was like a unified whole, forming a gigantic attack module.

Led by a million elite mayflies, with nine million ordinary mayflies assisting, the massive attack module resembled a giant eye.

In the next moment, the "eye" opened, and a beam of light shot heavenward, instantly engulfing the path of the Great Wizard with Green Light.

Had he been a little faster, the beam would have swallowed him too.

This beam, with a fifty-thousand Energy Level, would surely mean death if engulfed.

"Damn it!"

The Great Wizard with Green Light’s Rule Body core’s flesh face turned iron blue, the advantage of holding war initiative was evident here.

The mayflies, with superior forces, could easily gather a considerable legion to blockade the Great Wizard, while the wizard could only receive legion assistance within fixed areas.

This gap allowed countless King of Mayflies to escape.

Yet, wizards were powerless against this issue.

The Great Wizard with Green Light looked at the ground, and several rifts suddenly opened beside him leading to the Elemental Territory.

A plentiful amount of Earth Element and Fire Element converged, transforming into thousands of giant meteors flowing with lava.

Since the King of Mayfly was out of reach, he could only kill some lesser creatures to compensate for the loss.

With a thought from the Great Wizard with Green Light, the thousands of giant meteors transformed into a meteor shower, falling toward the ground.

At the same time, the fortress guarding wizards timely activated the Big Decomposition Cannon, with a seven-colored beam akin to Divine Punishment, where all things within its path turned into Free Elements.

Even the Legion Shield surged under the destructive beam.

The meteors descended, raising billowing dust clouds.

The mayfly battle group struggled to shatter most of the meteors, but the remaining ones still carried heavenly might, crushing the bodies of hundreds of millions of mayflies.

The insect swarm receded like a tide, and the Great Wizard with Green Light’s figure flickered and vanished into the air.

...

Richard’s battle lasted a month, ending because neither side wished to continue fighting.

White Crystal’s body became restless in battle, its evolution like a volcano suppressed for too long, ready to erupt at any moment.

Yet, evolving on the battlefield was clearly not a wise choice.

Richard wanted to end for similar reasons; he had no urge to evolve, but he had learned most of White Crystal’s skills.

Continuing the fight bore no significance, better to return and summarize and extend the combat skills.

Slaying White Crystal was a lose-lose situation for Richard, as it meant he’d have to change opponents.

This was a very unstable choice.

Richard’s duty was the stabilization of the frontline; pushing the frontline was neither his duty nor meaningful.

The final result of this war ultimately depended on the battle between the two Dominators.

Of course, this point was just a secondary reason.

What truly led Richard to end the battle was a call from another world.

The Abyss Demon Dragon he once communicated with finally responded.
