Chapter 348: Chapter 347: Great Turmoil
“Sorcerer Solomon’s party is in grave danger now.”
This sudden turn of events had terrified Della and the others into hastily retreating, yet so couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted, despite a sense of helplessness. The fine frost fla flower was about to be buried in the magma.
It was unlikely that another frost fla flower existed in the multicolored pit.
This trip might turn out to be in vain!
If they really ca back empty-handed, the folks from Belizi’s family were far from as calm as they claid.
…
Around the frost fla flower, Doug didn’t bla Ivan for being too rash; given the behavioral patterns of the two Alien Race lords, a chaotic situation was bound to arise sooner or later, not to ntion that he couldn’t be sure he would withstand the next attack from the ruler of the frost lake.
“It’s coming.”
Soon, both of them sensed it—the lord of the molten lake launched a ferocious assault, while the ruler of the frost lake made no other move.
Perhaps the frost lake lord was biding ti for the right opportunity.
For the two of them, this was a good thing, as they did not have to face both lords at the sa ti.
“Sorcerers, we need to hold on a bit longer,” Solomon was certainly monitoring the surroundings, but he still needed so ti to harvest the core of the frost fla flower.
At this mont, he and his clone Pidel were each flying on one side. They had set up a steeple at each of the four cardinal directions around the frost fla flower; bases of the steeples were just over two ters wide but were only slightly shorter than the frost fla flower itself.
It was not hard to tell that all four steeples were high-level magicalized items.
Among them, there was one fla steeple, one frost steeple, and two ice-fire steeples.
Under the control of the two, the four steeples slowly absorbed the ice and fire energy from the petals, causing the outer petals of the frost fla flower to wither one after another.
So far, the whole frost fla flower had visibly shrunk to half its original size, yet it still needed a bit more ti to completely strip away the petals.
“Leave it to us.”
“Hurry up. Otherwise, when the energy torrent cos pouring down, the frost fla flower might not last until the end.”
Despite the dire situation, upon hearing Solomon’s words, Ivan and Doug remained resolute, ready to protect this final stretch.
As ti went on, waves of heat surged outside. The Heaven and Earth Net quickly succumbed to chaos, with fires, explosions, violent thunder, and malicious winds erging and starting to press inward inch by inch.
For a mont, it seed as if the sky was falling.
“Prepare the defenses.”
“I have a set of ‘Ant King Sky Shield’ here; it should protect us for a while.”
Ivan retreated to the side of the steeple, where five tal rings floated up from him, all black with white runes. The rings rose and rapidly expanded, enveloping the steeples and the frost fla flower within.
Energy shields erged from the rings, connecting with each other and forming an upside-down do of energy on the ground.
The energy do protected the entire frost fla flower.
“Is this a runes sorcery array?”
Doug was also within the energy shield. He stared at the striking white glow on the exterior of the shield, which was clearly a protective layer of spatial nature, and by no ans thin—this was actually a technique controlled by a Level 2 Sorcerer.
“No, just a high-level magicalized item,” Ivan shook his head slightly.
The Ant King Sky Shield was undoubtedly a magicalized item. After mastering spatial energy, the runes bundle contained in the tal rings increased to 24.
With plenty of materials, he had crafted quite a few Ant King Sky Shields and even devised several defensive tactics, the current one being only one of them.
To be honest, he had never thought such a combined tactic would be useful.
However, the combination of five Ant King Sky Shields was the limit; any more would not provide greater defensive power, but rather increase the consumption.
“Are you selling them? I’ll trade with valuable materials,” Doug couldn’t help asking.
“Let’s talk about that after we get out of here,” Ivan glanced at him, speechless.
“Ha-ha, that’s true. My defensive ans are not as comprehensive as yours. When you can no longer hold, I’ll support for a few more seconds. For everything else, we can only leave it to fate.”
Such an opportunity was rare, and Doug knew he didn’t have such an impressive defensive item at hand, fortunate that he had opened up the conversation, a point that was also ant for Solomon to hear.
When all defensive asures were breached, it would an that they had truly done their utmost, and by then, no bla could fall on them.
Having said that, Ivan and Doug then saw the chaos quickly approaching from outside.
“Boom, Boom, Boom—-”
Heavenly fire, explosions, wild thunder, and wicked winds all surged into a tangled ss, pressing down on the energy shield ford by the Ant King Sky Shield combination, which shone brilliant white, swiftly guiding the raging energies downward.
In the flow of the frenzied energy, it seed to add an extra layer of protection from the outside.
Under such protection, the energy shield was as indestructible as a tal fortress.
“Impressive. It looks like it can hold up for a bit longer,” Doug praised generously, his eyes growing even greedier for those tal rings.
“This is only the beginning. You should get ready to provide support at any mont,” Ivan wasn’t so optimistic, knowing well that the evolution of chaos always started at its lowest level and would intensify step by step.
Besides, there were two highly skilled Alien Race lords outside.
Hearing this, Doug fell silent.
As ti ticked by second by second, indeed, after only a short while, the energy shield began to tremble slightly, and the pressure from outside grew increasingly intense.
“Solomon, are you able to pick the Frostfire Flower now? If it’s truly impossible, let us lend a hand.”
The steeple was absorbing the ice and fire energy from the petals far too slowly, and seeing that there was still another layer outside the flower core and Solomon showed no sign of moving forward to pick it, Doug couldn’t help but grow anxious for him.
At this rate, they might end up with nothing.
“Your help is of no use, hold on a little longer,” Solomon remained unmoved.
“As you wish, but don’t regret it later,” Doug said helplessly.
Ivan also had no other choice, the current situation was beyond human control, and all he could do was to endure, to persist for one more second if possible.
Outside, the five-colored chaos turned into a sky-toppling force, and the pressure on the Ant King Sky Shield beca even more intense, with the energy shield changing over ti.
The energy shield began to oscillate significantly.
Fine specks began to erge within the pure white light of the energy shield.
“Ding!”
Soon, a light ring sounded off from the tal rings, striking the ears of those present like a thunderclap.
The bearing capacity of the Ant King Sky Shield reached its limit, and Ivan was already feeling weary.
“Doug, it’s over to you.”
“Alright.”
“Seven—six—five—four—three—two—one.”
Accompanying Ivan’s voice, the sound of tal splitting rose in succession.
As he counted down to one, the tal rings broke upon cue, and the Ant King Sky Shield completely shattered.
Doug had prepared to take over, he and Kang Mang stood on either side, each holding a white stone slab, with alien black light rising from the slabs, similarly enveloping both the steeple and the Frostfire Flower within, adding an extra layer of white stone protection on the outside.
Outside the white stone protection was the alien black light.
This layer of protection just managed to block the bearing force coming down, and the next second, the sound of ‘crack, crack’ shattering echoed out, as minute cracks already appeared on the white stone protection.
“Sorcerer Solomon, ten—nine—eight—–”
Doug, while striving to pour strength into the protective layer, signalled the ti they could hold out.
Without a doubt, only the last few seconds were left for Solomon.
In that mont, Solomon finally peeled off the final layer of petals, revealing the flower core. He took out a flower made from so sort of high-level crystal and tossed it towards the core of the Frostfire Flower.
The crystal flower landed on the flower core, beginning to absorb it on its own.
The white stone protection cracked open.
