The 90th to 100th floors of the Fissure Corridor were not standard floors.
The alchemists who were once responsible for constructing this place hollowed out these ten floors, creating an underground city over a hundred meters tall.
The city’s area was about one-third the size of Union City’s Undercity.
At the very center of the city stood a tall, black spire.
It was the core alchemical device used to spray the universal metal powder onto the ground level.
On Spray Powder Day, the spire would open like petals, revealing the ultra-high-pressure airstream alchemy array within.
For the residents of Black City, the spire was more than just an alchemy device. The ground surrounding it was filled with alchemy pipelines transporting universal metal powder, energy pipelines delivering energy to the ultra-high-pressure airstream alchemy array, and a large warehouse storing the universal metal powder.
The spire and all the alchemy facilities around it were essential to the people of the Black City’s survival.
As long as these things continued to function normally, Black City would have the confidence to challenge the Alchemy Cathedral.
With the tower standing, the people stand too; when the tower falls, the people fall as well.
The illegal extraordinaries of Black City vowed to defend the spire to their deaths.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey envisioned themselves facing the army of the Alchemy Cathedral and struggling to survive under their opponents’ onslaught.
Yet, they never imagined that their opponents would consist of just two people.
One person had a fireball and an ice ball floating above their left and right palms, respectively. The other had an electric ball and a water ball floating above each hand.
The ice ball scattered frost and cold air towards the people of Black City. Swiftly spreading like a cold tide, it enveloped half of the city in under half a minute.
Despite being surrounded by the two combat wizards, the people of Black City weren’t afraid of such coldness. The bone-chilling coldness made their bodies shiver, but it didn’t cause any apparent damage.
Assuming that was their opponents’ full extent, the residents of Black City laughed heartily, mocking their frost magic as comical as stage decorations.
However, their laughter soon ceased.
A flcolumn several tens of meters long shot out from the fireball, its target not the laughing Black City residents, but the frost particles floating above their heads.
The elemental reaction of ice followed by fire created an “Explosive Melting.”
All the suspended frost particles exploded simultaneously, releasing ferocious impacts as if ignited by the flcolumn. The tremendous difference between ice and fire descended upon all Black City residents instantaneously.
The explosive airflow and thunderous roar were heart-shaking.
The fierce wind carried water droplets formed by the melting of frost particles, violently striking the people of Black City.
Illegal alchemists of Black City had activated their alchemy weaponry in advance, quickly stabilizing their footing amidst the explosive blast. The illegal wandering wizards mixed among them also shielded themselves with “Magic Shield” in time.
Before these barriers could counterattack, the combat wizards’ second onslaught began.
The combat wizard holding the water sphere and thunderball tossed the water sphere into the air, casting a downpour of dense rain. Amid the heavy rain, countless flashes of lightning were shot out from the electric ball.
The elemental reaction of water followed by electricity created an “Electrosensitivity.”
All enemies struck by lightning after being soaked would release lightning towards nearby enemies in a continuous cycle. The electric snakes kept moving between enemies, weaving together an electricthat flashed with light.
The combat wizards’ attacks didn’t end there.
Just as the electric snakes were moving around, the combat wizard who controlled the fire and ice balls struck again.
He retracted the fireball, holding the ice ball with both hands, and fully stimulated the ice elemental energy within the ice elemental sphere.
Raising the ice ball above his head, he made it spin rapidly between his palms, using centrifugal force to spray a sky-covering barrage of frost spikes.
The ice stings flew towards the electric net, smashing into the Black City residents who had been struck by lightning and triggering explosions of ice fragments and electric sparks.
Water, ice, and lightning elemental energy appeared on the bodies of Black City residents simultaneously.
The elemental reaction of ice and lightning was “Frangible,” which reduced elemental and kinetic resistance.
The elemental reaction of ice and water was “Deep Freeze,” forcing the target to be frozen.
Black City residents becice sculptures that emitted lightning towards their comrades.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe ice ball flew back to the combat wizard’s shoulder, its brightness dimming considerably, having consumed a significant amount of its frost energy.
Now, the combat wizard held the fireball with both hands, pushing it forward to release a new scorching flcolumn.
The flcolumn swept from left to right across the ice sculptures that were once Black City residents.
The “Explosive Melting” reaction of ice and fire struck once more.
All the ice sculptures touched by the flcolumn exploded, sending ice shards, bloody water, and limb fragments flying into the air.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
A series of continuous explosions sounded like tightly packed firecrackers.
In just two or three minutes, more than two-thirds of the illegal residents of Black City had been slaughtered by the elemental power of ice, fire, water, and lightning.
“Such a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers not even on par with elemental demons. I really don’t know what’s the point of the Academy temporarily transferring us over to deal with these guys,” Gardner scoffed and shook his head in lament.
He said to Kevin beside him:
“I’ll clean up here; you go check the situation in that spire. Once I’ve finished off these guys, I’ll cfind you.”
The water and electricity-wielding Kevin nodded:
“I’ll go ahead.”
