From Hugo's previous inquiry, Bernardino had already learned the other party's attitude.

Want to drag on the time......

It's useless.

He was in a hurry, but he wasn't in a hurry, not for a few minutes, a few hours.

Or is it just a simple rejection of yourself?

"But this ...... Does it make sense? ”

Bernardino sighed under his breath, almost in pity.

The next moment, the walls around them instantly crumbled and collapsed inward.

The stone of unknown material, without any transition, collapsed inward and transformed into a deep black sharp shadow blade.

It was enough to cut through the steel armor in an instant!

However, behind Bernardino, the black half-length giant rose from the mud and suddenly stretched out his huge hands to grab Bernardino!

As soon as the shadow blades sliced into the giant, their pace slowed down.

But the next moment, these shadow blades suddenly lit up with white light.

- About a quarter of a second later, there was a bang!

The shock wave alone lifted up the dust and blasted the "mud" on the ground into a large crater. This is not real silt, but a field formed by the power of the elements......

The only one who can instantly destroy the power of the elements is the same level of power!

Before Bernardino could launch a counterattack, Hugo disappeared into the Wizard's Tower without warning.

It's like a phantom.

It was as if he had never been there.

After the violent explosion, the black sludge giant was completely thinned into a large layer.

The dust of the explosion floats in the air.

Suddenly, they glowed white again. It's like a lot of stars lit up around Bernardino.

An explosion that was even more powerful than before, accompanied by waves of light and air, resounded again!

This time, even one of the outer walls of this floor was blown through.

The explosion roared out - like a cannonball, slamming the clouds outside the tower!

However, just before the third explosion.

[Parsed over——]

Isaac suddenly stretched out his hand, his lips moving slightly.

[——Countermeasures completed]

The moment the dust floating around them lit up again, they suddenly froze in place.

In the world that is invisible to the naked eye, they are transformed in reverse at the moment of explosion. The power of the two transformations is perfectly canceled out, and the chain of transformations is terminated, so that they become simple, powerless glitter dust.

"...... [chain explosion]?"

Bernardino recognized this transformation spell.

It wasn't an overly complicated, difficult transformation spell per se. Its only difficulty lies in the gap between its two explosions.

Generally, this spell is used to place ambushes on the battlefield. After an explosion, another explosion will occur in the same place for more than a minute. Because the trap has already been triggered once, the enemy will subconsciously set the area that has exploded as "safe". And this spell is in line with this idea, and the secondary detonation is carried out in the "safe zone".

In general, however...... This spell can only be triggered with black fire.

Hugo used his original wall material to transform into a shadow blade of unknown texture, and used the shadow blade to instantly induce an explosion - although it was only a small skill, it was indeed a tower master-level spellcasting skill.

But in the next moment, the floor under their feet suddenly collapsed.

The floor instantly turned into a dense sea of electricity. If you fall directly, you will be burned to ashes by high temperature and broken down by electric current into powder in the blink of an eye.

But they didn't fall.

The black silt was not resolved by Hugo, while it adhered to the walls on either side, and the fragile points of contact were enough to support Bernardino for a moment.

It didn't exist for even a tenth of a second before Isaac was transformed into ordinary dirt again.

Among the cold-toned solid black walls, floors, and ceilings, there were several patches of ugly dirt. This strong sense of disobedience is no longer something that a living person can point out.

Immediately after, there were dense runes that appeared and spread rapidly on the walls. There were many "eyes" in the runes on the wall, and each eye shot an extremely hot laser, and the laser hit the opposite side and was reversed by a very small mirror.

In this way, the originally sparse lasers can multiply rapidly in geometric multiples until the scorching lasers fill the entire corridor!

This is, without a doubt, an absolutely deadly trap.

If Bernardino had come alone, he would have been vaporized by it in an instant.

However......

【Do you play light in front of me】

Even if it was just a soul, the corners of Isaac's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile that might have been contemptuous at first, but it was extremely cold on his translucent face.

In the air around them, the dust condensed and turned into swirling prisms.

As soon as the scorching lasers approached two meters from Bernardino's side, they were reversed, focused, and converged to hit the top of the tower!

A rainbow-colored surging stream of light instantly pierced through the three floors, and after a short delay, it pierced straight through the top floor of the Zedi Black Tower, shooting straight into the sky!

Even from a distance of more than ten kilometers, such an intense beam of rainbow-colored light could be seen, gushing out from above the Black Tower.

After half a minute, the flow of light gradually dissipates.

The surrounding walls were already red.

They're about to take the next step in their transformation.

However, Bernardino has found his way to the top of the tower -

If you can't find a way, blast one!

A black flame suddenly ignited in Bernardino's eyes. The runes on his skin lit up again, and the rate at which the Philosopher's Stone flowing through his veins burned suddenly doubled.

Black sludge splattered out and stained the walls where the laser cannon had blasted a pathway.

The black giant stabbed countless black lines into the mud on each floor. Its body suddenly rose up, as if it was being pulled by a three-dimensional motorized device, and like a huge spider with more than a hundred legs, grabbing Bernardino and quickly climbing to the top of the wizard's tower.

And the slender black shadow with a pitch-black, armless and faceless body, the tower owner "Hugo", was waiting for him in the middle of the room.

This is a top-secret place.

It is also a place of inheritance.

Where only the Lord of the Tower and the Children of the Tower can come.

Those wizards, they would never have imagined what it was like here......

- There is nothing around.

Yes, nothing.

In the black space, not to mention things for entertainment, there is not even a seat, a table, or a lamp. If it hadn't been for a big hole, I'm afraid it would be pitch black and I wouldn't be able to see anything.

Because those things are meaningless to the tower owner.

"The original wizard's tower...... I think I broke it. ”

The corners of Bernardino's mouth were raised, and his flat tone was marked by arrogance and artificiality.

"If this level of damage can be destroyed, it won't be a wizard's tower."

The very tired young voice did not come from "Hugo".

Instead, it comes from the ceiling in the center.

The next moment, it's like withdrawing a battery.

A cylindrical capsule slowly descends from above.

It flipped up and down as it approached the ground, and then opened the hatch.

A viscous unidentified liquid flows to the ground.

A humanoid gap is revealed.

The soaked, unclothed young man staggered out of it.

The young man's eyes flashed with crimson brilliance.

The flames swept through his body in the blink of an eye—as if by magic, and the nutrient solution on his body was instantly refined into a set of robes with intricate and mysterious shapes.

"You really haven't gotten old......"

Bernardino squinted his eyes slightly, and sighed in an inexplicable whisper: "Eternal life in exchange for freedom, do you like it?" ”

"My purpose was never eternal life."

The real Hugo replied in a calm tone: "The mission of the Tower of Alpha is to provide the fire of wisdom to the world. Just like the original tower master, Lord Prometheus.

"Eternal life is just a 'tool' that will allow me to carry out my duties until I find an heir."

After spitting out Hugo, the entire Wizard's Tower gradually ceased to function as if it had lost energy.

In other words, the Zediheit, the "Tower of Alpha", has stopped supplying energy to all other functions and facilities. Give all the energy to the Lord of the Tower, Hugo.

"I never thought I could beat you with just projection."

Behind Hugo, a pure crimson flame roared and ignited: "I just ...... I don't want to burn my students with my own hands. ”

A half-length humanoid body composed of never-ending flames rises from the ground. Hugo's hound-like paws enveloped Hugo in the middle, turning his surroundings into a never-ending sea of fire in the blink of an eye.

The entire black tower was like a huge firewood standing upright, ignited from top to bottom, and after a delay of several seconds, it burst into flames, instantly emitting terrifying light and heat.

The surrounding swamps and plants were scorched dry by the surging flames.

The brilliance emitted by the huge tower-shaped torch can be seen throughout the kingdom.

Transforming wizards are never short of attacks.

They're just scared of ...... Whether your own attacks will destroy your teammates as well.

How terrifying is an unscrupulous transformation wizard...... No one dares to imagine.

This is also the reason why Salvatore's "shadow" must always be vigilant and sealed.

"Since you killed all my students...... And it freed me. ”

In the midst of the fire, Hugo's voice was cold and rational: "If you want my soul, then you can try it." Want to escape your fate...... Then I'll kill you.

If I only need to stall, I'm pretty sure. It's okay to drag it out as long as you want. ”
