Age of Adepts Chapter 1090 - Terrifying Adept

Chapter 1090 Terrifying Adept

Naturally, as someone capable of reaching the Fourth Grade, Mangus was powerful in his own way!
As the weakest person in the party, he typically kept a low and humble profile, rarely ever getting into an argument with anyone. However, when he transformed into a true two-headed adept and both Mangus’ and Cherisha’s consciousnesses were highly blended, an overwhelming and barbaric aura burst forth from their body.
“Come down, you!”
A strange voice that was a mix of both male and female rang out in the air. The two-headed adept’s hands moved together and grabbed at the security tower. The security tower abruptly trembled above them, just a hundred meters in the air. Two strange and massive claw marks mysteriously appeared on its sturdy walls. Pieces of stone and debris fell off from the walls like an avalanche.
Pulled by this unusual force, the security tower was unable to resist any longer against the cooperation of two Fourth Grade adepts. It once again trembled and crashed towards the ground.
While the legendary fire adept and the two-headed adept worked together to take down the security tower, two black dots appeared on the distant horizon, quickly approaching their location.
“Holly, go delay them for fifteen minutes! Two-Heads and I will finish this first,” Greem shouted after he turned back and looked.
Finish a security tower guarded by a Fourth Ring arcanist in fifteen minutes?
It was hard to believe such a claim, but Holly sensed a trace of self-confidence in Greem’s composed and determined words.
He was the one that wanted this battle, after all. It only made sense that he should be the one to shoulder the hardest and most challenging part of it. As such, Adept Holly made no attempts to shirk the task he had been assigned. Instead, he turned and immediately charged at the direction of the two black points.
Several dozens of kilometers was a matter of a few seconds for everyone on this battlefield.
The two reinforcing security towers hastened their speed when they saw the damage that had been done to the first tower. They seemed eager to rush to its aid.
The astral construct that Holly piloted also began to get closer and closer to them.
When the two parties were two thousand meters apart, the elementium towers on the two security towers lit up simultaneously. All sorts of violent magic then started to bombard the astral construct ceaselessly.
Holly’s vision trembled violently, and he could smell blood from his mouth when he cackled. However, he couldn’t be bothered by such a blast injury like this. He continued to charge forward recklessly.
Finally, when the security towers were only a thousand meters away, Adept Holly roared and struck.
He lifted both hands as a brilliant beam of starlight crashed down from the skies, landing right upon one of the security towers. A profound a mysterious array made of starlight appeared out of thin air. Countless strange appendages wrapped around the tower, trying to drag it into the void.
Obviously, the security tower would not just take it lying down. It furiously attacked the appendages and the starlight array with its elementium towers. It greatly slowed down the appendages and made it difficult for them to pull down the tower. Even the starlight array itself flickered as if it was about to be blasted away by the attacks.
It was an unusual banishment spell!
Should the security tower be dragged into the void, its connection to its current location would be severed. The starlight array would then throw the tower to a random corner of the plane.
When that happened, it would not be able to return to this battlefield without a few days of travel.
It was an indirect manner of banishing the security tower from this fight.
Unfortunately, Adept Holly alone was not powerful enough to banish a security tower as massive as this. That was why he had activated Starlight Banishment the moment the fight began. Holly wasn’t blindly hoping to actually banish the tower. Instead, he was mainly hoping to temporarily restrain one of his targets using the spell.
Otherwise, if both the security towers were to combine forces, even a Fourth Grade golem master like himself would fold from the pressure!
Seeing that the security tower was still resisting the starlight array, a wicked smile appeared on Adept Holly’s face. He leaped forward, an enchanting trail of light streaking behind the astral construct as he rushed at the other tower.
The battle instantly reached its peak!
Taking full advantage of what little time that Adept Holly had managed to buy, Greem and the two-headed adept started to beat down on the security tower beneath them wildly.
At their level, almost every single attack was a compound attack of many effects.
From physical damage, to elementium damage, to all sorts of unusual magical effects, only compound attacks of this kind could penetrate the defenses of a Fourth Grade enemy and inflict severe and lasting damage!
The security tower shook violently, endlessly unleashing violent arcane shockwaves in the hopes of blowing away the two enemies at its sides. Unfortunately, these two enemies seemed to have gone mad. They completely ignored the ‘insignificant’ damage to their bodies and focused intently on attacking the tower itself.
As for the arcane barrier around the tower? That had long since been destroyed when it was sent crashing to the ground by the two adepts!
They were two adepts, one with an elementium body and one with a body of flesh and blood. Both of them used their powerful magical abilities to beat down on the sturdy walls of the security tower. The security tower continued to have its elementium towers unleash a barrage of elementium attacks, all while powerful and savage arcane magic came shooting out of the tower itself.
Obviously, the Fourth Ring arcanist had also sensed the impending danger to himself. He no longer limited himself to controlling the tower and started to fight with his own powers as well.
Greem and the two-headed adept could endure the barrage of low-grade elementium attacks with their formidable Physique. However, they would have to choose between defense and offense when faced with the arcane spells of their Fourth Ring opponent.
The savage arcane spells ravaged the two-headed adept’s body. They penetrated their defensive forcefield and left increasingly glaring wounds on their body.
From a distance, it looked as if the two-headed adept’s body was covered in black burn marks, blue frost marks, the amber-colored signs of earth elementium, and the messy, crisscrossing cuts from wind blades.
However, their tough Physique caused the wounds to heal rapidly. The dead muscles dried up and peeled off, revealing the newly-grown flesh and skin beneath. Even the more terrifying wounds were healing at a rate visible to the naked eye!
Meanwhile, the fire giant that Greem had turned into had also been receiving an equal amount of damage. However, his strange body of flames seemed to allow him to ignore the damage. A red burst of fire would roll across his body every so often, and the wounds would vanish mysteriously.
It was because of how ferocious Greem and the two-headed adept were that they were able to keep the tower against the ground with their relatively ‘smaller’ sizes and send rocks flying across the air.
Six minutes quickly passed by. Even though the tower had been utterly defaced by the ‘beatdown’, it still continued to struggle to get up without any intentions of giving up resistance.
Pressured by time, Greem had no plans of letting the fight drag on. He shouted out loud.
“Keep that thing pinned for me!”
The two-headed adept roared in reply, lashing out with two iron fists and suppressing the tower’s attempt at retaliation.
Greem took this opportunity to take a deep breath. He then bent forward and spewed forth a golden stream of fire that was one meter in diameter.
These golden flames were endless and scorched the stone exterior of the tower without stopping.
Even the firm steelrock, infused with arcane energy, could not endure this golden fire. The surface of the rock started to dry and crack, before turning red, then scalding hot, and finally softening and turning into molten lava.
A river of red lava flowed down from the walls of the tower. A one-meter wide hole had been charred into the stone and was slowly extending into the inside of the building as the golden flames burned.
The Fourth Ring arcanist, who was witnessing all this through the monitory crystal, was thoroughly shocked. He then redoubled his efforts on piloting the security tower in an attempt to break free from the pin. Even if the tower could not take to the skies, adjusting the tower’s position and preventing the fire giant’s attack from being concentrated on a single area was better than nothing.
However, having seen the hope of success, the two-headed adept would not let him do as he wished!
The previously cowardly and passive two-headed adept was exceedingly brave and barbaric at the moment. They used their own body of flesh and blood to pin down the tower and keep it from moving at all.
The crater grew deeper and deeper. Finally, a loud roaring rang out as the golden flames burned through the tower, sending the heat and fire right inside.
The wild, ferocious golden flames freely surged within the interior of the tower. All things unprotected by arcane power in its path burned and melted from the heat. The tip of the fire melted through countless arcane and metal doors under the guide of Greem’s powerful spiritual consciousness. It wildly reached towards the location of the Fourth Ring arcanist.
Meanwhile, the other arcanists had been turned into screaming human torches from the extreme heat the moment the tower was breached.
So what if you were a Third Ring arcanist?
Against the violent attack of a Fourth Grade legendary fire adept, they could only survive for a few seconds longer than the low-grade arcanists!
They might be royalty to the civilians of the Arcane Empire, enjoying lives more respected and more luxurious than human emperors. Unfortunately, they were still no more than ants before a Fourth Grade adept from another world.
So what if you were a little stronger? You were still an ant!
What could their brilliant minds and unparalleled arcane knowledge count for beneath the might of ferocious adept magic?
Since the security tower had been breached, there was no longer any meaning for the Fourth Ring arcanist to continue hiding inside!
An arcane flux, more powerful than any before, swept across the battlefield.
While this energy paralyzed the two adepts for the briefest of moments, the Fourth Ring arcanist flew out of the tower. He was clad in layer after layer of arcane light as he desperately flew towards the two security towers in the distance. He did not so much as even looked back.
Unfortunately, how could he, having lost all his will to battle, ever escape the grasp of the adepts?!
A large hand reached out from the side and grabbed the Fourth Ring arcanist. A loud voice then started bellowing in wicked laughter.
“Run? Have you asked me for permission yet?”
The next moment, the two-headed adept stuffed the arcanist into their wide mouth and bit down viciously, completely ignoring all the arcane spells that were being shot down its throat.
A strange, muffled sound rang out. The Fourth Ring arcanist’s arcane shields were crushed to pieces, and his neck was forcefully bitten off.
Of course, his attacks came to a silent end.
