439 Endless Fire

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

Want to procrastinate...

useless.

He was in a hurry, but he was not in a rush of minutes or hours.

Or just simply reject yourself?

"But...does it make sense?"

Bernardino sighed in a low, almost pitiful voice.

The next moment, the walls around them collapsed and collapsed inward in an instant.

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

That was a blow that was enough to sever the steel armor in an instant!

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

After those shadow blades cut into the giant, the pace of progress immediately slowed down.

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

——After about one-eighth of a second, it exploded!

The shock wave alone kicked up the dust, and the "silt" on the ground was blasted into a big hole. This is not real silt, but a field formed by the power of elements...

Only the same level of power can instantly destroy the power of elements!

Before Bernardino launched a counterattack, Hugo disappeared into the wizard's tower without warning.

Like a phantom.

It was like he had never appeared before.

After the violent explosion, the black silt giant was thinned by a large layer.

Dust from the explosion floated in the air.

Suddenly, they glowed white again. Like many stars lit up around Bernardino.

A more powerful explosion than before, accompanied by waves of light and air resounding again!

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

The surging air waves brought by the explosion roared out - like a cannonball, slamming the clouds outside the tower away!

However, just before the third explosion.

[Completed analysis-]

Isaac stretched out his hand suddenly and moved his lips slightly.

【——Complete the countermeasure】

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

In the world invisible to the naked eye, at the moment of the explosion, they simultaneously produce a reverse transformation. The power of the two transformation spells is perfectly cancelled, the chain transformation is terminated, and they become pure, powerless flash dust.

"...[Chain explosion]?"

Bernardino recognized the transformation spell.

It is not an overly complicated and difficult transformation spell in itself. Its only difficulty is the gap between its two explosions.

Typically, this spell is used to lay an ambush on the battlefield. After an explosion, more than a minute later, it will explode again in place. Because the trap has 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".

However, in general... this spell can only be triggered with black fire.

Hugo used his own original wall material to transform it 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 spellcasting skill at the tower master level.

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

The floor instantly turned into a dense sea of ​​electric currents. If it fell directly, it would be burned to ashes by the high temperature in the blink of an eye, and it would be broken down into powder by the electric current.

However, they did not fall.

The black silt was not resolved by Hugo, and it adhered to the walls on both sides, and the fragile connection points were enough to support Bernardino for a moment.

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

Among the solid black walls, floors and ceilings in cool tones, there were several patches of ugly dirt. No living person can point out this strong sense of disobedience.

Immediately after that, dense runes quickly appeared and spread on the wall. There are many "eyes" in the runes on the wall, each of which shoots out extremely high-temperature lasers, and the lasers are just reversed by a tiny mirror when they hit the opposite side.

With this repetition, the originally sparse lasers can multiply rapidly by geometric multiples until the scorching lasers fill the entire corridor!

There is no doubt that this is an absolutely fatal trap.

If Bernardino came alone, I'm afraid it would be vaporized in an instant.

However……

【Do you play light in front of me?】

Even if it was just a soul, Isaac raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile that might have been just contempt, but on his translucent face, it looked extremely cold.

In the air around them, the dust was condensed and transformed into spinning prisms.

When those scorching lasers approached Bernardino two meters away, they were reversed, focused, and gathered together to hit the top of the tower!

A surging stream of rainbow-colored light instantly penetrated the third floor, and after a short delay, it penetrated directly from the top floor of the Zedi Black Tower and shot straight to the sky!

Even at a distance of more than ten kilometers, such an intense beam of iridescent light can be seen gushing out from the top of the black tower.

After half a minute, the optical flow gradually dissipated.

The surrounding walls were already red.

They are about to undergo the next transformation.

Yet Bernardino has found his way to the top of the tower—

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

A black flame suddenly ignited in Bernardino's eyes. The runes on his skin lit up again, and the burning rate of the Sage Stone flowing in his veins instantly doubled.

Black silt splashed out and stained the wall that had been blasted by a laser cannon.

Countless black lines pierced through the black giant's body, connecting to the silt on each floor. Immediately afterwards, its body suddenly rose up, like a giant spider with more than a hundred legs pulled by a three-dimensional mobile device, grabbed Bernardino and quickly climbed to the top of the wizard's tower.

And the slender shadow with a dark body, no arms and no face, 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.

Only the place where the tower owner and the son of the tower can come.

Those wizards, absolutely can't imagine what the scene here is like...

- There is nothing around.

Yes, nothing.

In the black space, let alone entertainment, there is not even a seat, a table, or a lamp. If it wasn't for a big hole being punched, I'm afraid it's pitch black here and I can't see anything.

Because those things are meaningless to the tower owner.

"The original wizard tower... I seem to have damaged it."

The corners of Bernardino's mouth rose, and his flat tone was marked by arrogance and pretentiousness.

"If this level of damage can be destroyed, it will not be a wizard tower."

The very tired young voice didn't come out of "Hugo".

Instead, it comes out from the ceiling in the center.

The next moment, it was like ejecting a battery.

A cylindrical cabin slowly fell from above.

It flipped upside down as it approached the ground and opened the hatch.

A thick, unidentified liquid spilled onto the ground.

A human-shaped gap is revealed.

The young man who was wet and not wearing an inch of thread walked out from the inside with some staggering.

A crimson light flashed in the young man's eyes.

The flames swept through the whole body in the blink of an eye - like magic, the nutrient solution on his body was instantly transformed into a complex and mysterious robe.

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

Bernardino squinted his eyes slightly, and sighed in a low voice of unknown meaning: "Eternal life in exchange for freedom, do you like it?"

"My purpose was never immortality."

The real Hugo replied calmly: "The mission of the Alpha Tower is to provide the world with the fire of wisdom. Just like the original tower owner, Lord Prometheus.

"Eternal life is just a 'tool' that allows me to perform my duties before finding an heir."

After spitting out Hugo, the entire wizarding tower seemed to have lost its energy and gradually stopped functioning.

In other words, the Zedi Black Tower, the "Alpha Tower", has stopped the supply of energy for all other functions and facilities. Provide all energy to the tower master, Hugo.

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

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

A half-length humanoid made of never-ending flames rose from the ground. Hound-like claws surrounded Hugo in the middle, turning the surrounding environment into a never-ending sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye.

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

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

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

Transformation wizards are never short of offensive tools.

They are just afraid...whether their own attacks will destroy their teammates.

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...you also set me free."

In the sea of ​​​​fire, Hugo's voice was cold and rational: "If you want my soul, then you can try it. If you want to escape from your destiny... Then let me kill you.

"—If it's just procrastination, I'm pretty sure. It's okay to procrastinate as long as you want."
