Chapter 974: Occupation
Leon sneered coldly, neither dodging nor defending, not even casting a protective spell. Instead, he intensified his spellcasting, merging four streams of elemental magic into a single, tangled torrent.
The four elemental spells clashed, then collapsed under the strain of their respective rules, unleashing their full power and transforming into a pure, destructive elemental storm.
The nearly hundred-meter-wide elemental storm resembled a giant tornado, annihilating all spells in its path and reducing them to their most basic elements.
Not only were the mages’ spells unable to resist Leon’s elemental storm, but their casting actually intensified the raging, destructive storm.
Leon watched as the mages were swallowed one after another by the destructive elemental storm, his gaze utterly unperturbed.
Anyone who tried to escape was instantly struck down by a Four-Element Bomb, killing them on the spot. Only one Ninth-Rank Title Archmage, Daryl Su, was left half-dead by the blast and managed to escape as a streak of light using a special magical artifact.
Leon sneered again, ignoring the escapee, and continued to reap lives within Windfire Fortress.
Gradually, Windfire Fortress began to mount an effective counterattack, but it was already too late to make any real difference.
There were three Ninth-Rank Title Archmages in Windfire Fortress: Daryl Su was the first to be instantly killed, another was torn apart by the elemental storm, and the third, gravely wounded, escaped using the power of a magical artifact.
The remaining forces, though numerous, could do nothing to harm Leon. Among them were hundreds of mages and over thirty Title Archmages.
In less than five minutes, all three Ninth-Rank Title Archmages were crippled, seven of the remaining thirty-plus Title Archmages were killed, eight were gravely wounded, and the rest were left terrified.
No one expected Leon to be this powerful. Facing him was like confronting a Sky Rank powerhouse who wasn't even using extraordinary powers.
Within ten minutes, several hundred meters of Windfire Fortress were reduced to ruins. A vast number of orc slaves were slaughtered, with the casualties impossible to count.
Those forced to work as slaves here were generally weak. Any strong orc who refused to submit was killed immediately.
In half an hour, all thirty-plus Title Archmages were slaughtered. Most of the remaining Archmages and Grand Mages were also wiped out.
The surviving Archmages no longer dared to fight, fleeing desperately in all directions, while the orc laborers had no chance to escape.
These orc slaves had no way to escape Windfire Fortress; all they could do was hide far away or kneel and tremble, not daring to resist or even flee.
They all knew the fortress master was a Sky Rank powerhouse, yet someone had come and massacred all the powerful mages in the fortress. Who would dare resist?
In half an hour, Windfire Fortress was completely taken. Leon spent several more hours searching the fortress, killing every mage who tried to hide.
