Age of Adepts

Meteor Bombardment!

It was one of the few single-target Fourth Grade spells that the Chip had managed to produce after Greem’s advancement to Fourth Grade.

The meteor formed by magic was over five meters in diameter. It had a gray stone exterior enveloped in fierce and violent magical flames. Through the cracks in the stone, you could vaguely see the slowly flowing lava within.

Even the Fourth Ring arcanist in the tower couldn’t help but lift his head and look at the approaching fireball with a solemn expression as this terrifying meteor crashed down towards the security tower.

Several semi-translucent force shields appeared in the trajectory of the meteor, and every one of them was crushed to pieces. Even though the barriers couldn’t thoroughly stop the meteor, they had effectively neutralized the fearsome kinetic energy behind the meteor’s crash.

Then, as a half-meter thick lightning bolt blasted against the meteor, the rock finally exploded, turning into a massive cloud of fire. Endless amounts of lava and fire splashed across the sky.

Everything in their way ignited and started burning. Blistering heat and waves of fire appeared wherever the cloud of fire was.

Having successfully defended against the enemy’s attack, the security tower soared through the flames, all while gathering a fearsome torrent of arcane magic and unleashing it upon the fire giant.

The eyes floating in the shadows of the ancient tree couldn’t help but betray a trace of disappointment. Her eyes gleamed with a cold light when she looked at the fire giant, the way a tiger looked upon a prey.

If the fire adept had been foolish enough to crash directly with the security tower back then, if he had revealed any sort of weakness in defense, then she would take the opportunity to strike and murder him on the spot.

However, now that the fire adept had successfully tricked the arcanist, her chance to strike was gone. The eyes in the darkness blinked a few times before slowly vanishing into thin air.

Meanwhile, Mangus was relieved after personally witnessing the legendary fire adept’s power. He started thinking about ways to establish a relationship with Greem better.

The most direct option was to aid him in battle!

Having made up his mind, Mangus defaulted on his pessimistic, non-confrontational attitude. He strode out of the forest and rushed towards where the security tower had crashed.

Greem couldn’t care less what his spectators were thinking. He would never let go of such an excellent opportunity of attack, after creating it himself with the use of Fire Teleportation. He immediately unleashed a furious storm of spells into the dust pillar.

The trembling security tower attempted several times to remove itself from the earth, but it was always blown back into the ditch by the meteors crashing down from above.

Arcane radiance shimmered around the tower, layering over each other like fish scales to defend against the fire adept’s manic and ferocious attacks. However, it was exceedingly difficult for the tower to escape the opponent’s attacks and rise back into the sky.

While the security tower was enduring the meteors and slowly gaining altitude, Mangus arrived below the structure.

He looked at the security tower and saw it shrouded in flame, its arcane barriers trembling without stopping. Mangus let out a roar without any hesitation and unleashed his true power.

As the earthshaking roar rang out, Mangus’ body started to swell and grow at a rapid pace. The sound of cracking bones could be heard as Mangus turned into an unusual five-meter-tall, two-headed adepts.

Meanwhile, a sort of change seemed to have overcome the two-headed adept, whose body could only accommodate one consciousness at any one time. The two suddenly became fearless and powerful.

Both heads opened their eyes simultaneously.
