Chapter 1057: Giant Beast Paradise, Four-Circle Veteran! (1)
The mortal world, outer sea region, Paradise Island.
Five years ago, this was just an ordinary deserted island.
Melina and a group of young wizards from the School of Spiritualism arrived here and established the organization known as Paradise.
Subsequently, the entire island became a base for nurturing transcendent creatures.
However, now…
Melina gazed at the crumbling third-circle array, feeling desolate and hopeless.
She had thought that choosing this remote location in the outer sea region would be safer.
Indeed, it had been safe for a long time, a full five years without any disturbances.
During these five years, the infrastructure of Paradise had been mostly established, thriving.
The storms and upheavals on the Seven Kingdoms Continent had nothing to do with them.However, not long ago, a group of cave wizards happened to pass by Paradise Island while wreaking havoc in the mortal world and discovered it.
Cave wizards were essentially the “dark wizards” of the mortal world.
Having lived in harsh environments for a long time, they, like locusts, plundered everything in sight to survive.
At this moment, a group of wicked and arrogant forces outside the array, comprising more than a dozen wizards, was fiercely attacking the array!
These people hailed from a level four cave on the outskirts of the Forsaken Land of the God.
The Cave Lord was a Fourth-Circle Wizard named Gargoyle Ur, a powerful figure!
Beside Ur were three third-circle wizards and more than ten low-level wizards.
Even in the outer sea region of the Endless Sea, this force was significant, let alone in the mortal world.
With a wave of a third-circle wizard’s hand, a huge rock formed and hurled towards the array.
Boom!
The array trembled once again.
“Hehehe, surrender! Our leader is a Fourth-Circle Wizard… Even though you have a third-circle grand array, how long can you hold out against such intense attacks?” řÃΝօᛒĚȘ
On the side of Paradise, including Melina, there were also three third-circle wizards.
But they didn’t have the strength of fourth-circle level.
That’s why Melina felt so hopeless.
The fourth-circle wizard with grim features and iron-blue skin hadn’t even made a move yet!
“Master, the enemy’s attacks are too fierce, and the array consumes too much. We have to replenish the Aether Stones, and our reserves are running low…” A third-circle wizard named Frick, who was Melina’s father’s student and a master in nurturing transcendent creatures, asked.
“Master, should we deactivate the array? We still have those transcendent creatures to fight them off,” Third-Circle Wizard Ray suggested.
Melina replied, “I have a fourth-circle spell scroll that my father left me. If used properly, it can kill that fourth-circle wizard.”
Frick instantly understood. “Then Ray and I will distract the other third-circle wizards, giving you a chance. Focus on staying safe. If you can’t kill him, then escape. With your father’s legacy, as long as you’re alive, Paradise can be rebuilt!”
Melina fell silent for a moment. “Let’s give it a try.”
In an instant, the third-circle array completely failed.
Frick and Ray, both third-circle wizards, summoned their respective Spiritual Beasts, a Level 3 Ghost Tiger Eagle and a Dark Terrifying Wolf!
Melina summoned her own Six-Winged Sky Sea Dragon!
This was a powerful mixed-blood dragon. The complete form was the Ten-Winged Sky Sea Dragon King, a fifth-level being.
With her talent, as long as she continued her training diligently, she could become as strong as her father. By then, she would be able to protect Paradise in the mortal world.
But now, the opportunity seemed slim!
“Ah, are you going all out now?” Ur’s grim face twisted into a cruel smile.
With a wave of his hand, a fourth-circle Meteor Burst was unleashed!
Meteors fell from the sky, exploding with a terrifying shockwave.
The Six-Winged Sky Sea Dragon was blasted away.
“Hydra, hold him off for a while longer!” Melina commanded.
The already injured Hydra let out a roar and sent a terrifying water dragon towards Ur.
Ur sneered, clasping his hands together, and stone arms emerged from all directions, once again swatting away Hydra.
“This is the difference between fourth-circle and third-circle,” Ur sneered.
But in the next moment, his expression changed.
While he was busy dealing with Hydra, Melina tore open a scroll.
“Fourth-circle spell, Flame Fire Drill!”
The shadow of a Flame Dragon Centipede emerged and rushed towards Ur.
The Flame Dragon Centipede was her father’s fifth-level Spiritual Beast. This was a lifesaving scroll her father had made for her. She even had a fifth-circle scroll before, but it was used up in the Endless Sea.
Ur’s protective force field flickered as countless stone arms wrapped around him.
Boom!
“Boss!”
Other wizards exclaimed in shock.
In the firelight, Ur’s figure emerged, battered but not critically injured.
The black body-refining runes on his body shone, making him look like a real stone statue!
“Do you know why I’m called the Gargoyle? Because I practice both spells and body-refining!” Ur sneered inwardly.
Body-refining wizards were not much different from ancient times to now.
There were fewer wizards walking this path, so progress was slow, and development stagnated.
In some aspects, modern body-refining techniques were even regressing compared to ancient times.
Ur practiced the “Gargoyle Body Refining Technique,” which could be cultivated to the realm of a fifth-circle wizard. It was created by ancient wizards based on the Gargoyle, this specific kind of devil in Hell.
