Although Benjamin's expression was calm and composed, as if everything was under his control, in his heart, he still felt quite thrilling.
If his mage hadn't arrived in time and summoned countless shields to protect him, he might have had to activate the void to avoid dying under the intensive magic offensive just now.
How dangerous...
When did these guys learn to show off at a pinch
Benjamin shook his head helplessly. At this moment, without his command, the mages in the sky understood and launched a fierce offensive against the cannibal mages on the ground.
Countless fireballs were summoned, like meteors falling from the sky, bombarding the potholes!
"Troublesome guy..."
In this regard, the elder did not seem to be too panicked, but opened his arms, dusted off his body, chanted a spell, and gathered the dark elements escaping around him. Beside him, other cannibal mages also cast spells, summoning layer after layer of shields above their heads.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of fireballs hit the shield, and the stone walls of the valley were reflected red.
At the beginning, the shields were broken one after another, and the cannibal mages had expressions of embarrassment on their faces. They were a little overwhelmed. However, more and more people crawled out of the dungeon pit and joined their ranks. Gradually, their situation became less stretched.
-There is no other way. In terms of quantity, they still have more people than Benjamin's men.
Finally, the round of bombardment ended and the fire disappeared. The cannibal mages seemed to be struggling, but they still blocked all the fireballs without suffering any damage.
When Benjamin saw this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
A tough battle is probably inevitable.
At this time, the two elders who were singing suddenly opened their eyes and ended their chanting. An inexplicable momentum silently emanated from them.
The mages in the sky couldn't help but their faces darkened.
I saw that the surging dark elements gathered in front of the elder, and even condensed a few substantial black shadows, and the powerful magic power fluctuations continued to reverberate... Then, a small black ball suddenly appeared above their heads. .
That little ball is only the size of a fist. When it appeared, it had neither amazing sound nor magnificent brilliance, and looked very inconspicuous. If there is any difference, it is that the magic fluctuations and dark elements echoing around them seem to have suddenly disappeared, and there is an eerie silence around the cannibal mages.
Looking at the small black ball, Benjamin suddenly showed a solemn expression.
"…Gate of Annihilation."
This is an advanced magic, he recognizes it.
What is surprising is that the elders of the cannibal mage clan actually know how to jointly cast spells. With the cooperation of the two, they completed this extremely difficult advanced magic in such a short period of time.
Dark magic has always been rare. Those that can be passed down are either unique in mechanism or extremely powerful. And the magic of Gate of Annihilation... perfectly combines the above two characteristics.
Even though it is just an inconspicuous little ball now, it is an inexplicable object produced by compressing a huge amount of dark elements together until a qualitative change occurs inside the elements. As soon as it appears, it will begin to devour all surrounding objects - matter, elements, spiritual power... The more it devours, the bigger it will become. As long as the caster's mental power is not exhausted, theoretically, it can even Can become as big as a planet.
As for those things swallowed by the black ball, they will naturally disappear completely from this world. Most mages believe that the objects it swallows will be transported to another world, so they call it the "Gate of Annihilation".
In Benjamin's view, this is a small artificial black hole. Except that it does not have the powerful suction of a black hole, it is no worse than a black hole in terms of destructive power.
"Accept the judgment of the door. This is not a force you can resist."
All the cannibal mages looked at the black ball with fanatical expressions. The two elders leaned together, raised their hands, and directed the Gate of Annihilation to fly upward slowly.
It expanded as it rose, and soon it was the size of a human head.
The mages in the sky couldn't help but be frightened.
They knew about this magic, but they had never dealt with it head-on, so they wanted to test whether the Gate of Annihilation was as powerful as the legend. Rock guns, wind blades... various simple magic attacks were condensed by them and flew towards the rising black ball.
In the blink of an eye, the first flying rock hit the black ball. Then, as if the pencil writing was lightly rubbed by an eraser, the entire stone blade disappeared, and the shape of the Gate of Annihilation seemed to expand a bit at this moment.
Seeing this, the other mages hurriedly controlled the remaining magic and bypassed the Gate of Annihilation to avoid becoming the nourishment of the strange black ball again.
The remaining magic was directed at the cannibal mage. However, since so many fireballs had been blocked, this wave of tentative attacks naturally posed no threat to them.
"Struggle and resist." The two elders smiled together, as if they had become clones, and their voices and expressions completely overlapped. "All your fighting spirit will become the nourishment of your souls and add more to our sacrifice." Share the energy.”
The mages in the sky ignored their mad words.
"Start chanting Phoenix on Fire." Benjamin stayed far away, and Wallis became their commander. "They are all high-level magic after all. Maybe we can suppress the Gate of Annihilation before it grows to the point where it becomes unstoppable. "
Joanna and the other three also nodded and started chanting under the protection of other mages.
The Gate of Annihilation is still rising slowly. Its speed is very slow at first, but as it swallows more and more things, it moves faster and faster.
If they really wanted this thing to grow to that point, they would really be dead.
Therefore, the mage in the sky chanted while protecting the three people, while releasing fireballs, bypassing the Gate of Annihilation, and constantly bombarding the cannibal mage below. The cannibal mage had no intention of counterattack, so he opened his shield to resist the fireball, just to ensure that the two elders would not be disturbed.
In this way, the entire war situation temporarily fell into a stalemate.
"Has it become a competition of endurance..."
Benjamin couldn't help but frown as he watched this scene.
If the cannibal mage's mental power was exhausted by the fireball before the Gate of Annihilation began to take shape, then this terrifying black sphere would naturally be self-defeating. But... can they really outlast each other
No matter what, the number of enemies is still superior!
Benjamin felt that he had to do something.
However, the self-destruction of the iceberg just now put a greater burden on his mental strength than he imagined. After resting until now, he still has not recovered. He can only use one or two magic at most, and basically has no offensive power.
Therefore, the cannibal mages were always paying attention to their opponents in the sky, and did not pay much attention to Benjamin squatting aside.
—This is probably Benjamin’s only advantage at the moment.
How can he take advantage of this
Benjamin was lost in thought.
"No... the Gate of Annihilation is growing too fast, we have to stay away." Five minutes later, Wallis said as he looked at the black sphere in front of him that was already the height of an adult.
During these five minutes, they tried hard to attack the enemy's defense, but unfortunately they failed. The cannibal mage also bought enough time for the Gate of Annihilation to make it more and more dangerous.
At this moment, the Gate of Annihilation was less than ten meters away from them.
Therefore, they could not continue the attack. A few people carried the three chanting mages on their backs, and the team of a hundred people flew in another direction, temporarily avoiding the slowly approaching Gate of Annihilation.
With their current speed, they can still throw away the black ball, but... what about ten minutes later
Wallis' face was extremely heavy. He even looked towards Benjamin, thinking that they might not be able to defeat him, so they should retreat.
However, just as he looked at Benjamin.
boom!
A gunshot appeared in the valley very suddenly. The cannibal mage's team also let out several exclamations at this moment.
