Chapter 307: The Dishonorable Sorcerer

12-11-2024

"It's the Dark Throne!"

Su Nan was startled.

He had originally thought that the Celestial Tower was behind all of this, but he never expected there to be an even more deeply hidden force, the Dark Throne.

Now that he thought about it, not only the Crescent Moon Goddess and the Spider Queen, but even the Celestial Tower was likely manipulated by the Dark Throne, serving as their pawns.

Su Nan clicked his tongue inwardly.

In addition to the two major sorcerer factions, there were also two divine beings involved in this matter, more influential entities than he had anticipated.

Despite his thoughts, the current development was undoubtedly advantageous for Su Nan.

He had initially thought that he wouldn't be able to take advantage of the situation, but now it seemed there might still be a chance.

Carefully concealing his presence, Su Nan stared intently at the distant battle.

In the fight against the Celestial Tower, the Spider Queen had repelled the enemy, but she had also suffered significant losses. Now, facing the well-prepared Dark Throne, she no longer had the same composure.

Of course, the Dark Throne also didn't expect the Spider Queen to absorb the New Moon Divine Role so quickly, almost without any cost, and repel the Celestial Tower.

As the two sides clashed, it was uncertain who would emerge victorious.

A deafening roar reverberated through the sky, where turbulent clouds swirled, echoing thunderously.

Violent energy surges filled every inch of the space within a few hundred kilometers, causing even the Blood River to churn with violent waves that reached the sky.

Countless malevolent spirits were swept into the energy torrent, unable to even scream before being crushed into nothingness.

From time to time, a broken Bone Hunter would fall into the Blood River, creating a splash of waves as it shattered into countless bone fragments.

In just half a day, most of the Bone Hunters and the Sorcerer Tower of the Dark Throne were annihilated.

However, the Spider Queen's side also suffered heavy casualties. The Prayer Unifiers were nearly wiped out, and the spider webs in the void had become much dimmer, almost invisible without careful observation.

This meant that the power of the God Realm had been weakened to its limit, and it was on the verge of being expelled by the Blood Abyss.

Once the God Realm's support was lost, the Spider Queen's power would inevitably diminish significantly.

A shrill sound tore through the air as a superconducting pulse ray shot into the head of the Palace Spider, piercing through its tail and exiting on the other side!

In an instant, the massive spider's body stiffened, its surface cracking with a series of popping sounds as large cracks appeared and rapidly spread across its entire body before it finally exploded, turning into a pile of rubble.

At the same time, the maze-like energy force field on the surface of the Dark Throne's Floating City was torn open by the Spider Queen's dagger, and the eerie purple fire quickly spread and consumed the invisible energy force field, leaving nothing behind.

After breaking through the defenses, the Spider Queen gave a cold smile, her sharp fangs protruding from her lips. She spun into the Floating City like a whirlwind, and soon the sounds of battle and cries filled the air.

The Floating City was a massive strategic fortress with both offensive and defensive capabilities. Even without the maze-like energy force field, it was more than capable of giving enemies a hard time.

It was equipped with countless golem puppets, built-in energy cannons, and even a Magic Suppression Field.

Especially the latter, when activated, prevented the manipulation of any energy particles within its range. Combined with high-level golem snipers powered by magic crystals, it was enough to crush most enemies.

Throughout history, countless beings had underestimated the Floating City, thinking that breaking through the maze-like defenses would lead to its destruction. But once they breached the defenses, they were met with a fierce counterattack, resulting in their annihilation.

However, all of this only applied to ordinary beings.

For divine beings, the Magic Suppression Field was completely ineffective.

The power of the Law far surpassed ordinary energy particles, making it impossible for the Magic Suppression Field to restrict them.

The chaos within the city continued for a long time, and then two streaks of light shot into the sky, quickly darkening the clear sky like ink, creating a dense veil of darkness.

Even the Dark Moon was obscured by this darkness!

"The Dark Law," Su Nan's eyes narrowed.

Despite the great distance, his vision could still penetrate the layers of darkness, allowing him to see the two figures locked in a fierce battle inside.

One of them was the Spider Queen, and the other was a man in his thirties with ordinary features and a strange black pattern on the right side of his face.

This face seemed familiar to Su Nan, and after a moment of recollection, he remembered that he had encountered this man when he went to the Radiant Pavilion to purchase the Revelation Potion.

"The Crown Sorcerer of the Dark Throne.

Su Nan's heart sank. He had never expected to encounter this person again, and even less so in such a situation.

Su Nan murmured to himself.

Among the Three Great Robed Wizards, the seven Crown Sorcerers held the highest status below the Three Great Robed Wizards.

Without exception, these seven were all True Spirit Sorcerers, and among them, they were the cream of the crop.

The fact that they could face the Spider Queen head-on also demonstrated the strength of the Crown Sorcerers.

Not long after the Spider Queen's battle with the Crown Sorcerers, the Prayer Unifiers were completely annihilated, and the spider webs that covered the heavens and earth disappeared, and the Abyssal Web was quickly expelled from the Blood Abyss.

Without the power of the God Realm, the Spider Queen immediately fell into a disadvantage.

After all, she had fought against the Celestial Tower, and her consumption was significant. To break through the floating city's maze-like defenses, she expended a lot, and facing the Crown Sorcerers at their peak, it was natural that she couldn't resist.

The war had reached a point where it was time to decide the winner.

Seeing this, Su Nan's eyes flashed, and he took out a communication crystal, crushed it in his palm, and it turned into a stream of light, disappearing into the void.

The weak energy fluctuation caused by the communication crystal didn't attract the attention of either side of the battle.

High in the sky, taking advantage of the upper hand, the Crown Sorcerer's offensive became more and more fierce. The thick darkness, as if turning into a liquid, emerged from the void, rushing from all directions to squeeze towards the Spider Queen, trying to devour her.

The dark moon at the end of the horizon appeared behind the Spider Queen at some point, emitting a cold moonlight that blocked the surrounding darkness.

However, in the face of the endless, seemingly infinite darkness, this moon was like a boat in a tsunami, seemingly about to capsize and disappear in the next second.

Seeing this, a trace of smug cold laughter flashed across the Crown Sorcerer's face.

But just at this moment, a thin spider silk suddenly hung down from above his head.

Following this strand of silk, a spider quickly slid down, transforming into a beautiful woman amidst the flickering light and shadows, holding a sharp curved blade, and slashing down towards the Crown Sorcerer!

Sensing the threat from behind, the Crown Sorcerer's expression changed drastically.

At this critical moment, his entire body suddenly flashed with silver light, and he instantly disappeared from his original position.

But even though he reacted quickly, he still couldn't completely avoid this attack.

When he reappeared, he was already hundreds of meters away, and a deep wound that could be seen to the bone had appeared on his back.

The edges of the wound were writhing, trying to heal, but the black mist escaping from the wound hindered it.

The black mist turned into ferocious spider shadows in the air, baring their fangs and claws in a silent hissing manner!

The Crown Sorcerer's face turned ashen as he stared at the attacker, and gradually, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"The Crescent Moon Goddess?!"

"No, that's not right."

Sensing the dead-like aura on the other party, the Crown Sorcerer quickly realized, and his eyes twitched fiercely.

"You actually turned New Moon Goddess into a puppet?!"

Turning a god into a puppet wasn't uncommon in the Sorcerer Realm.

For example, turning a divine body into a puppet was not an uncommon occurrence in the Sorcerer Realm.

However, no god had ever dared to do such a thing!

This would provoke the wrath of other gods, leading to a collective attack!

The key point was that turning a god into a puppet meant that part of the soul fragment had to be used as a material to relatively preserve the power.

This way, the Spider Queen couldn't completely absorb the soul fragment.

Wait!

The Crown Sorcerer suddenly realized, and his expression changed.

As if guessing his thoughts, the Spider Queen smiled slightly and said, "The Crescent Moon Soul Fragment has some overlapping aspects with mine, and absorbing it won't increase my strength. It's better to use it to make a puppet and make full use of it, isn't it?"

The Crown Sorcerer's face turned completely dark.

Just as the Spider Queen said, her divine role had some overlap with the New Moon Goddess, otherwise, the Spider Queen wouldn't have been able to take it so easily at first.

Absorbing this overlapping soul fragment would have a minimal effect, so it was better to use it to make a puppet and make full use of it.

However, turning a god into a puppet was something that no god had ever dared to do!

This would provoke the wrath of other gods, leading to a collective attack!

But even if she did something that angered the gods, it seemed that her already infamous reputation wouldn't get any worse—after all, there wasn't much room for her reputation to decline further.

After understanding this, the Crown Sorcerer's heart sank.

Originally, he had a six or seven out of ten chances to kill the Spider Queen, but with the addition of this puppet, the possibility of killing the Spider Queen suddenly became extremely slim.

In the face of such a turn of events, the Crown Sorcerer was more likely to capsize in a ditch.

However, he had prepared extensively for this operation, investing much, and to give up now would be a significant loss for him as well.

For a moment, the Crown Sorcerer hesitated.

As the enemy's expression shifted unpredictably, a triumphant smile appeared on the Spider Queen's face.

"Now it's my turn to counterattack!"

In the instant her words fell, she appeared at the Crown Sorcerer's left, brandishing a dagger and lunging towards his head.

At the same time, the Divine Puppet also launched an attack from the other side.

In the blink of an eye, surrounded by the two attackers, the Crown Sorcerer didn't show much panic. He gave a cold harrumph, and the dark law around him stirred, forming claws that struck towards the duo.

The battle erupted anew, but this time, the situation was reversed.

Although the Divine Puppet's power was inferior to both the Spider Queen and the Crown Sorcerer, they were still of the same level.

Facing the joint assault of these two powerhouses, the Crown Sorcerer, even with the support of the Floating City and the Sorcerer Tower, couldn't avoid falling into a disadvantage.

The Sorcerer Tower was the first to suffer.

The Sorcerer Realm War Constructs, renowned throughout the Multiverse and feared by countless planar races, were like fragile toys in the hands of the Divine Puppet, easily destroyed with a single strike.

In just over half an hour, more than twenty Sorcerer Towers were damaged under the combined assault of the Spider Queen and the Divine Puppet, causing the Crown Sorcerer's eyes to twitch.

Fortunately, the sacrifice of these Sorcerer Towers wasn't in vain. The Floating City finally seized the opportunity, expending its nearly depleted energy, and a superconducting pulse ray struck the Divine Puppet, disintegrating half of its body.

Seizing the opening, the Crown Sorcerer unleashed the Dark Law around him, forming a giant palm that slammed into the Divine Puppet.

But at that very moment, the Spider Queen's dagger also pierced the back of the Crown Sorcerer's head.

Just as the strike landed, the Crown Sorcerer's body suddenly disintegrated, transforming into thick, dark energy that surged towards the Spider Queen, instantly engulfing her.

High in the sky, a massive, pitch-black sphere appeared.

The surface of the sphere was in constant turmoil, with bubble-like protrusions forming and dissipating, revealing glimpses of a cold, moonlit interior.

The remaining dozen or so Sorcerer Towers around them halted their attacks, their eyes fixed on the black sphere.

They all understood that the battle between the two sides had entered a stalemate.

The outcome of this war was about to be decided! The battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

But this silence was soon broken! Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the black sphere suddenly exploded, dark energy splattering in all directions.

A figure burst through the dark energy, like a meteor, and plunged into the Floating City. In the void, a massive silver vortex appeared, and a city as vast as a mountain range emerged.

The sorcerers of the Dark Throne, unaware of the outcome, sighed and maneuvered their Sorcerer Towers into the silver vortex.

The Spider Queen's figure also emerged from the darkness, her eyes coldly watching the departing enemy, but she didn't pursue.

She also didn't have the confidence to leave the people of the Dark Throne behind.

Continuing the fight would only result in heavy losses for both sides.

Since they weren't prepared for a life-or-death struggle, they had no choice but to let the enemy go.

More importantly, her current state was far from good; it was the worst she had ever experienced.

Compared to pursuing the enemy, finding a safe place to heal and recover was more crucial.
