Chapter 901 The Battle Concludes
This human adept might not have had the same impenetrable defenses as the elementium magical machine, but he was still despairingly powerful and mysterious.
Most of the magical beams Kirkburn fired had missed, avoided by the adept’s strange movements. Even the occasional beam that made contact was blocked by the adept’s shield and lava armor.
His attacks couldn’t threaten the adept, but the adept’s attacks made him hurt tremendously!
The fire spears that Greem casually threw at Kirkburn were all shot down by the magical beams. However, the Third Grade Vicious Fireballs possessed horrifying offensive power.
The three hundred and thirty points of fire damage were combined with an odd fire poison and Coldflame effects that made it extremely difficult for the beholder to defend. If it weren’t for his scales having sufficient defensive power, Kirkburn would already have been wounded by Greem’s attacks.
While Kirkburn was busy dealing with Greem’s attacks, a deafening roar rang from behind. A frenzied, towering giant strode across the earth, charging toward them with unstoppable momentum.
Being stalled by the continuous barrage of Frost Rays for seven seconds was an incredible humiliation to the elementium magical machine. The machine itself might not care about this, but the fire clone hidden within the device was furious.
The Crimson adepts chased for a while longer and finally returned to Doverand Basin after confirming that the beasts would not turn and fight anymore.
The First Grade adepts and apprentices were all sent out to exterminate the magical creatures still left in the woods. Meanwhile, the civilians and goblins were mobilized to search for surviving magical creatures and beasts on the ravaged battlefield.
The villages near White Tower lacked food for winter at the moment. The meat of these beasts was great nutrition for an ordinary person. As long as they extracted the poison glands and the terrifying magical organs, the flesh of the magical creatures would allow the civilians to grow stronger over time.
Moreover, the chance of apprentice adepts emerging from a population that frequently ate magical creature meat was ten times that of ordinary humans.
It was a universally known fact in the World of Adepts!
However, most adept clans did not have such tremendous power to provide their civilians with magical creature meat. The civilians of White Tower only happened to ride on the large-scale expansion of the clan. That was why they were able to enjoy copious amounts of magical creature meat over an extended period of time.
Moreover, no other adept clan would be willing to arm their civilians with magic energy rifles and goblin firearms. It was such that apprentice adepts and adepts were the only ones who could hunt magical creatures. In such cases, there was no way the noble adepts would ever serve the civilians with magical creature meat!
Given all these conditions, only the Crimson Clan was capable of being so extravagant in the treatment of their civilians. It was all due to the large amount of goblin equipment they had obtained from the Goblin Plane.
The Crimson Clan slaughtered a large number of the beasts and magical creatures of the Black Forest during this stampede. The survivors had then escaped even further and deeper into the Black Forest.
That meant that the two hundred square kilometers of the Black Forest to the North of White Tower was no longer as dangerous and terrifying as before. Many regional ores and plant resources could now be properly excavated.
However, to do this, the Crimson Clan would have to recruit even more civilians and free peoples from the outside.
After returning to White Tower, Greem held a discussion with Meryl. They authorized the goblins to send out an engineering party to Doverand Basin to take down the fort and reconstruct it as a more secure and safe forward base for the Crimson Clan.
Once that was done, they only needed to send some adepts and apprentices over, paired with some magical machines. They could then defend against any magical creature attacks from the Black Forest.
This way, the vast area between Doverand Basin and White Tower would become a safe zone where the civilians could freely move about and farm.
Meanwhile, the Crimson Clan had not given up on the magical creature lords that had escaped. They sent out many elite pseudo-adept parties to investigate their locations. In particular, the Third Grade beholder was a focus of their investigations.
Greem didn’t mind personally visiting the beholder if they discovered its hiding spot, adding some necessary trophies to his collection.
