Chapter 95: Chapter 95: The First Rescue Mission

Two days later.

"Whew—"

Thirty thousand miles from the edge of the Betula Continent, a black spaceship was flying laterally along a mountain range.

"Ding—"

Just after the spaceship had flown out of the mountains, Lor discovered that the Continent Communication Device began to vibrate.

Taking out the communication device for a look, a distress message popped up on it.

[Support Wizard Lor, the Rovaniemi Duchy is under siege by a large number of demons, a distress signal has been sent, specific coordinates...

Please go to support as soon as possible. If the rescue fails, wartime merits will be deducted as appropriate.]

Below this distress message, a map was attached, with a red dot marked at the center.

"The first mission has finally arrived." Lor’s eyes lit up, "The Rovaniemi Duchy, huh."

He looked at the map and found the red dot was marked at a location just over four thousand miles north of him. He immediately turned the spaceship and headed north.

"Whoosh—"

The spaceship operated at full speed, and the defense shield was also activated by Lor.

The entire spaceship was shrouded in a layer of hazy golden light.

In addition, he also activated the Void Realm Witchcraft.

A layer of defense barrier, faintly glowing in dim red and yellow light, angular like an irregular polygon, quietly enveloped him.

At the same time, the Meteor Technique perception module was triggered, and his spiritual perception extended to the limit, encompassing everything within a range of 2378 miles.

A moment later, the spaceship crossed 2200 miles and arrived within the borders of the Rovaniemi Duchy.

In Lor’s perception, more than seven hundred Abyssal Demons of various shapes suddenly appeared.

They were distributed in the sky within a radius of two thousand miles, confronting more than two thousand wizards within layered defense magic arrays.

Multi-element mages of various factions were casting large-scale witchcraft, throwing them outward towards the edge of the defense array.

Over a thousand Bloodline Wizards stood beside the multi-element mages, transforming into terrifying giant beasts ranging from miles to hundreds of miles in size, unleashing breaths and various energy beams outward.

Streams of energy beams formed by various Abyssal negative energies and witchcraft clashed with the elemental witchcraft torrents and breaths, the fluctuations of elemental energy were extremely shocking.

The attacks of those Third Ring Elemental Mages and Third Ring Bloodline Wizards could usually crush the attacks of the demons, but with only a little over thirty Third Ring Wizards in total, it was really too few.

Even when adding the other Second Ring Multi-Element Mages who could barely confront the demon attacks, it was still not enough.

As for the First and Second Ring Bloodline Wizards and First Ring Multi-Element Mages, they could only cheer from the sidelines.

The wizards were at a great disadvantage because almost all the Abyssal Demons were at the Third Tier.

The layers of defense magic arrays were constantly being broken through, and the counterattacks of the wizards seemed somewhat weak.

"Luckily I arrived in time." Lor sighed in relief, immediately activated the Meteor Technique model within his sea of consciousness, and locked his perception onto an Eye Demon at the center of the demon horde.

Mark, assemble, dive.

Gravity Technique boost!

"Whoosh—"

A gigantic meteor, with power reaching 3.6 Rings and a diameter of nearly thirty miles, streaked across the sky, swiftly attacking the Eye Demon at the center of the demon horde, with explosive fluctuations of Earth and Fire Elemental energy within it.

After casting the Meteor Technique, Lor immediately extracted a Magic Crystal to restore his elemental energy.

Meanwhile, he carefully observed the battlefield, searching for the next target.

...

"Reinforcements have arrived." The wizards within the layered defense magic arrays were delighted upon seeing the meteors descending from the sky.

"Quick, Julian, quickly contact the wizard providing support through the support mission and have him come within the defense magic array for a positional battle."

An elder wizard, dressed in a red and green wizard robe, while casting Third Ring Witchcraft to counterattack, instructed a Second Ring Female Wizard beside him who was holding a Continent Communication Device.

A few hundred Third Tier Demons could not be easily exterminated in a short time, it had to be done gradually.

"Yes, mentor." The Second Ring Female Wizard nodded and immediately began to operate the Continent Communication Device.

Outside the layers of defense magic arrays.

"Whose witchcraft is this? Why can’t I sense the source?" The Eye Demon at the center of the demon horde almost instantly sensed the meteor rapidly attacking it, filled with doubt.

Its range of perception clearly reached seventeen hundred miles, almost reaching the limit for Third Tier beings.

Yet it still couldn’t sense where the caster of this Meteor Technique was, looking at the power of the meteor, it didn’t seem like a Fourth Ring Witchcraft either.

But there wasn’t time to think more at this point.

It lifted its head, a large eye on its face concentrating into an Abyssal Beam, directly attacking the Meteor Technique.

"Swish—Zira—"

The Abyssal Beam collided with the meteor, but it wasn’t very effective, only barely breaking through the surface flame layer of the meteor, leaving a few shallow dents.

"This defense is already at the ’Top Tier of the Third Tier’, better flee." The Eye Demon shuddered at the sight, immediately flying backward, trying to escape the impact range of the meteor.

As it got closer, it could now clearly perceive the violent energy contained within this meteor.

With its fragile body, it didn’t dare to confront it head-on.

"Whoosh—"

"How is this possible?" Just as the Eye Demon flew about thirty miles backward, escaping the meteor impact location, it suddenly realized with horror that the meteor also adjusted its fall direction synchronously, heading straight for it.

The remaining fifty or so demons also sensed the incoming meteor at this time, and after perceiving the massive explosive energy within the meteor, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Unfortunately, most of the demons couldn’t escape.

"Rumble—"

The meteor hit the ground, directly striking the Eye Demon still fleeing, then exploded, endless flames and rubble scattering, enveloping over thirty demons within a range of more than two hundred miles.

The Eye Demon that was hit directly by the meteor turned to ashes without a doubt.

And the other demons affected by the explosion, five within the explosion center a hundred miles around died; eight severely injured, and over twenty lightly injured.

The fall of this meteor brought a sudden silence to the battlefield spanning a thousand miles.

Most of the demons, after failing to sense where the caster of the witchcraft was, turned their gaze towards the Eye Demon nearby them, seeking to know where the enemy was from it.

The destructiveness of this witchcraft was too great. If the wizard casting the witchcraft wasn’t cleared first, the forthcoming battle would be tenfold more difficult.

As for escaping?

The sweet human souls were right before their eyes; it was enough if most of the demons could maintain their instinctual battle rationality, none would think of escaping.

As for the few demons whose rationality still existed, they were well aware of the habits of other demons.

Knowing that if they tried to escape, they would definitely be killed first by the wizard who cast the meteor.

"I can’t sense the source of the witchcraft either, if..." An Eye Demon was about to suggest searching the surroundings first to root out the wizard casting the meteor.

"Rumble—"

At this moment, the wizards standing within the defense magic array seized the opportunity for a wave of assaults, exterminating over ten demons again.

The remaining demons, seeing this, immediately launched a counterattack, unable to spare the time to listen to the Eye Demon’s suggestions.

The entire battlefield reverted to the original state perceived by Lor.

However, for some reason, the attacks of those demons suddenly weakened by a tier.

The speed of breaking through the magic array slowed down more than twice, and they occasionally looked up at the sky, appearing somewhat skittish when launching attacks.
