Under Benjamin's instructions, Joanna and the three dispersed the magic.
The sea of fire disappeared, revealing a huge barrier and the cannibal mages inside it. Perhaps due to the sacrifice of spiritual power, everyone in the barrier fell down. Those whose spiritual power had not been drained were also lying on the ground at this moment, twitching all over and foaming at the mouth, as if they had suffered from epilepsy.
The two elders who summoned the Gate of Annihilation were undoubtedly two corpses at this moment.
Seeing this, the mages couldn't help but show expressions of astonishment.
"They... are indeed dead." Wallis was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully, "But why is the Gate of Annihilation still expanding after it loses control?"
Benjamin looked at the black sphere in the sky, frowned, and shook his head.
There are indeed many strange things about these cannibal mages. Is this phenomenon of magic remaining after death because they cannibalize people as sacrifices, or because they have a unique way of learning magic? Benjamin had a hard time figuring it out.
The system has also sorted out local books, but there is no such content in them.
If it was normal and he really couldn't think of an answer, Benjamin would usually throw the question to the back of his mind. But if you can't think of any solution now, something big will happen!
The expansion of the Annihilation Gate is endless. If this continues, the entire mountain, the entire region, the entire country... everything will be swallowed up in this endless black hole.
—The world is going to end.
Benjamin never expected that one day he would be pushed to such a position.
What about learning magic and beating the church? What the hell is saving the world
"Teacher, what should we do?" The other mages had no idea and could only look at Benjamin.
After thinking about it, Benjamin said: "The expansion of the Gate of Annihilation will take a lot of time. Let's break this barrier first and see if the cannibal mage inside is still conscious. They should have some understanding of this situation."
After hearing this, the mages found their way, and began to cast spells on the barrier, trying to break it.
However, the barrier seemed stronger than they imagined. They spent a while trying to break it. Although the elder is dead, the process of sacrificing spiritual power seems to still be there. Unless the spiritual power of everyone inside is drained, this thing will not be broken.
Suddenly, the mages felt a headache again.
Someone suggested that they should leave quickly, but Benjamin immediately rejected it. They are partly responsible for the evolution of Gate of Annihilation into the situation it is today. How could they just escape like that
Besides, even if they run away, they can't escape!
"Let's start with the magic itself." Benjamin turned around, looked at the confused mages, and said, "Which of you knows the Gate of Annihilation better? Does it... have any weaknesses?"
The crowd was silent for a while. Lyra stepped out and said, "The Gates of Annihilation have no weaknesses."
"What about its characteristics?" Benjamin asked, "How does it work, and what are the internal laws? Nothing in this world is impeccable, there is no weakness, just because we haven't found it on our coast."
When Laila heard this, she was stunned and replied: "It... is a very pure dark element magic. The currently known principle is to use a huge amount of dark elements plus complex internal results to finally build a self-contained magic." The seed of law—that is, the smallest black sphere. Once the seed is formed, it can begin to evolve spontaneously. As for its internal laws, the magic world has never studied anything."
Benjamin thought for a moment and immediately asked: "Then it can evolve spontaneously, wouldn't it be uncontrollable? What does the mage who casts the spell use to control it?"
Laila replied: "Use a special spiritual mark. The core of the seed structure retains the spiritual power of the caster. Through the resonance of spiritual power, the mage can control the Gate of Annihilation to a certain extent and make it move in a certain direction. Move, or have its internal structure disintegrate and dissipate completely.”
…Finally we got to the key point.
Benjamin took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "In that case, can we imitate the spiritual power marks of the two elders and make this thing disintegrate from the inside?"
Laila looked a little helpless: "If we can really do this, then we can all control other people's thoughts."
Suddenly, Benjamin felt a headache.
That's right. The issue of mental power has always been mysterious in the field of magic theory. So far, no research results have been found, and it is simply regarded as the energy consumption of performing magic. When it comes to imitating other people's mental power, this thing is simply too advanced.
Trouble, another road is blocked...
"Let's do it." After thinking for a long time, Benjamin spoke again and said, "Isn't there still very little research on the Gate of Annihilation in the magic world? In this case, we will start researching from now on. You all know a lot of magic, and you alone Cast spells on this thing one by one to see what changes will happen, and I will record all the experimental results."
The current Gate of Annihilation is still far from growing to the point of destroying the world. So they still have time to research and try.
The mages were a little confused when they heard this, but since Benjamin said so, they naturally started to do it.
All sorts of strange magics were cast and thrown into the dark sphere. Benjamin ordered the system to carefully measure the changes in the Gate of Annihilation and record the data to three decimal places for analysis.
In the end, the Gate of Annihilation had consumed a total of 467 kinds of magic, which lasted for fifty-two minutes, and the entire volume had expanded by a large circle.
"The results of the experiment are as follows." After the system completed the measurement, he reported to Benjamin Hui, "Every time a magic is thrown in, it will become a little larger. The degree of increase depends on the amount of elements contained in the magic. The amount of elements in this world There are no common units, so I can't calculate a clear coefficient, but I can tell you that the coefficients of these four types of magic, fire, water, earth, and wind, are the same, and the coefficients of dark magic are four times as high. Light magic is thrown in. , there will be no impact.”
…light magic
Benjamin's heart moved.
"If I keep throwing holy light bombs into it, will it make it smaller or collapse?"
"You can try." The system said unequivocally, "But according to the results of the experiment, it is more likely that nothing will happen. The coefficient of light magic against the Gate of Annihilation is 1. According to the rules, it is not It will shrink.”
"No matter, let's try it first."
Benjamin couldn't help it, this was the only clue they found. Therefore, he had no choice but to order the mages to keep throwing holy light bombs into the Gate of Annihilation.
After all, this is a magical skill that most mages have never learned, and are only taught on-site by a few mages who have learned it. So, a group of mages stood in the middle of the mountain and frantically began to learn magic. This was a great spectacle.
Looking at the stumbling mages summoning the Holy Light, Benjamin thought for a moment and took out a cup from his bag.
If they want to use divine magic... this thing that was made a holy object by the bishop may be able to help them.
How to use it...
At this moment, the Gate of Annihilation has become quite large, and the shield formed by the spiritual power of sacrifice was just rubbed by a corner of the Gate of Annihilation. Suddenly, the entire barrier shattered, revealing the corpses and the dungeon pit inside.
Seeing this, Benjamin put away the cup first and walked over there.
"Hey, is anyone alive?" He endured the strange and unpleasant smell here and shouted loudly as he walked deeper.
