Chapter 497: Battle Expectations

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was not until the Queen Ant-level Mechanical Marionette’s body was crushed, and only a gold head of fantasy remained floating, where thousands of Mechanical Marionettes were left after thousands of them were swept back and forth, that Enigmatic Stigmata Sorcerer then brought millions of Demon-Hunter Bright Sorcerer legions to join the battle.

This Level-5 Purgatory Giant World Lord was six hundred meters tall!

As Enigmatic Stigmata Sorcerer came face-to-face with the hundred-meters-tall yellow sand giant, the pressure was unimaginable.

Every move of this Purgatory Giant King triggered amazing flame power. When faced alone, Enigmatic Stigmata Sorcerer would have no chance at all. What he could do at this time was to forcefully hold on.

The huge yellow sand continually gathered, intertwining toward the Purgatory Giants, but quickly turned into liquid glass.

A long yellow sand tail, like a scorpion’s tail hook, reached for the barbed mace, and the yellow sand scattered in all directions with a puff, and then converged again…

As for the offensive attack of the Purgatory Giant legion led by the Purgatory Giant World Lord.

The other Demon-Hunter Sorcerers were able to resist these offensive attacks of the Infernal King for a short period of time, like Enigmatic Stigmata Sorcerer, but the Level-6 King Sissy, who was holding the purgatory flag, was extremely hard to resist!

King Sissy led two Level-5 Purgatory Giants and the largest Purgatory Giant legion to the nearest Void Fortress.

In regards to this horrible being in the outside world, King Sissy had her own understanding.

Although the Purgatory Giant World had never come in contact with the Eternal Dominator in any way, they had learned of its existence from the invaded worlds. Legend had it that the Eternal Dominators possessed the power to destroy worlds with their own power, which was difficult for the World Lords to match their existence, but King Sissy thought otherwise!

It was all because of Abaddon, the strongest king of the Purgatory Giants that had ever existed in the Purgatory Giant World.

He was the mental will of the Purgatory Giants, and the most glorious of all the Purgatory Giants. Even in historical legends, no Purgatory Giant King had such a height, and none had become the strongest Purgatory Giant recognized by every Purgatory Giant in history!

Its strongest posture, although it was only shown once when the Purgatory Giant King of the previous generation was killed, King Sissy believed that…

That was the power of the Eternal Dominator!

Abaddon, who had the strongest posture while holding the Purgatory Furnace, was not only the embodiment of the Purgatory Giant World’s mental will, but also the embodiment of the Purgatory Flame!

Therefore, Abaddon ordered the Purgatory Giants to attack these creatures who claimed to be sorcerers. Sissy not only did not have any obstacles, but also gave her full support. All the Purgatory Giants were supporting them with all their might, attacking the enemy desperately!

Not only both Abaddon and Sissy, the Purgatory Giant Kings, but also all the Purgatory Giants wanted to know…

What in the world was an Eternal Dominator!?

Beyond all the Purgatory Giant Kings in history was the road of King Abaddon, which, to them, was the way of the Eternal Dominator.

The truth of the matter is, the thoughts of Black Isotta Tower Stigmata Sorcerer and all the sorcerers were completely reversed. The advent of Seven Rings Celestial Sorcerer was no longer a disaster but an opportunity for the Purgatory Giants who had reached the end of their flame violence.

This opportunity represented that the clan of Purgatory Giants would truly usher in the acknowledgement of the Eternal Dominator, the acknowledgement of the empty life level that existed above King Abaddon, and the acknowledgement to upgrade from any narrow world with limited contact to an Endless World.

The acknowledgement of the existence of an Eternal Dominator was taken for granted by any Stigmata Sorcerer in the powerful Sorcerers World. However for the Purgatory Giant clan, it needed the opportunity of the entire clan to be trained by life and death, and it needed King Abaddon to lead the most elite Purgatory Giant legion to undergo a test of life and death.

Just as King Abaddon was excited, he was also afraid!

Abaddon was afraid that the Eternal Dominator was just passing by, merely a passer-by who had peeked into the cricket battle in the box, fearing that he would miss this opportunity to challenge the acknowledgement of a higher level of life.

“For this opportunity!”

The Purgatory Flag in the hands of King Sissy gradually began to expand.

Flame Refinery and Internal Heat Ignition were the talents possessed by every Purgatory Giant, and the predecessor of the Purgatory Flag represented the Molten Core River. It was not only a river of flames where the Purgatory Giants’ original birthplace was located, but also a wonderful river of fire where any human flesh and blood would cause the Internal Heat to ignite.

“Perhaps to the greater creatures at the level of World Lords, the Internal Heat Power of the Purgatory Giants was not noticeable, but for these lesser creatures… Heh heh, burn!”

As King Sissy waved the Purgatory Flag, in the blink of an eye, thousands of slave monsters driven by the Sorcerer’s Will snarled in pain, thousands of flames burst out from their throats, and spontaneously ignited from within, after which their bodies were burnt crisp-black.

Two Level-5 Purgatory Giants led a large number of Purgatory Giant legions to open a path on both sides. King Sissy continuously ignited the Internal Heat Power of the Purgatory Flag which was a power that was both unstoppable and unattainable.

As for the black mask, this was the confidence of the Level-3 Great Sorcerer of Isotta that Grimm had once seen before.

At this point, the Great Sorcerer had been infused with the Mana Pool, and his body’s magic, mental power, and soul were constantly being polluted by the Mana Pool. This supplement of the Stigmata Sorcerers was extremely toxic beyond compare for the Level-3 Great Sorcerer.

For a lifetime, he had no hope of being promoted as a Stigmata Sorcerer.

For the temporary glory and dazzling moment at this moment?

No!

The Level-3 Great Sorcerer had spurred the Mana Pool of the Void Fortress, which meant that the Demon-Hunter expedition had fallen into its most critical moment. Some would have no memory of these temporary Stigmata Sorcerers, so remembering them was completely out of the question.

Only a highly conscious sorcerer would choose this path when he felt hopeless after being promoted to a Stigmata Sorcerer.

Beyond the black mask, it was the elemental body of more than eighty meters tall evoked by the weakened version of the temporary Stigmata Sorcerer that ignited the Mana Pool. When he and another weakened version of the Stigmata Sorcerer led by Hourglass Stigmata Sorcerer looked up front and saw King Sissy, who made an overwhelming assault, he knew that death was imminent.

Even if more than two million soul slaves were assembled, it was impossible to completely stop these powerful Flame Creatures before the Void Fortress summoned the Stigmata Sorcerer under the Celestial Mount.

But even with this awareness, when he saw the Purgatory Giant legion led by King Sissy charging toward them so quickly that they had broken through the soul slave army, he was shocked.

“Stop them!”

The voice of Hourglass Stigmata Sorcerer was both indifferent and calm, as he gave an order to a temporarily convened Queen Ant-Level Mechanical Marionette legion.

Immediately afterwards, millions of Mechanical Marionettes greeted them, fulfilling their cannon fodder mission that had begun since the ancient times.

Mechanical Marionettes were not flesh and blood creatures. The Internal Heat power of the talented Purgatory Giants had completely lost their effectiveness in the face of these Mechanical Marionettes.

However, in the face of a mighty Purgatory Giant legion led by a Level-6 World Lord and two Level-5 World Lords, these cannon fodders could hardly create any more resistance, and could only buy some limited time.

“Protect the fortress, never retreat!”

The voice of Hourglass Stigmata Sorcerer was shamelessly indifferent, with his order calling upon the more-than-two-hundred-thousand Bright Sorcerer legion behind him, and the two temporary Stigmata Sorcerers.

The more than five hundred meters long Purgatory Flag burned in flames and crumbled…

***

Black Isotta Stigmata Sorcerer was facing head on with Abaddon, king of the Purgatory Giants, who was as powerful as a monster.

With the Purgatory Furnace forged in barbaric and violent flames, even with the support of the Starfall Void, he was still at a disadvantage and could only passively defend, blocking King Abaddon’s movements.

If this horrible World Lord were to fully bombard the Void Fortress with one shot, even if the Void Fortress was not completely destroyed, the Stigmata Sorcerers under the Celestial Mount summoned by the Void Fortress would be terminated.

To come to think of it, it was time to understand the downside of the Stigmata Sorcerers under the Celestial Mount.

Although it had both the most stable Mana Pool and the most comfortable research environment, it did not have the freedom to freely acknowledge the Endless World, and if it were attacked under the orders of the Celestial Will, it would be at its most critical moment!

Suddenly, Black Isotta Stigmata Sorcerer snarled, as he unexpectedly gave up on the battle with King Abaddon, and crossed the battlefield. Not only did he lead the remaining ten thousand Demon-Hunter Sorcerers to put up their final resistance, but he also rescued Hourglass Stigmata Sorcerer from the clutches of King Sissy’s Purgatory Flag.

The two temporary Stigmata Sorcerers had long since fallen.

With a bang, both Black Isotta Stigmata Sorcerer, who did not use the power of the Starfall Void, and King Sissy, took a step back.

King Sissy was also a long-standing ancient life!

King Sissy sneered as the four narrow flames in his eyes were becoming narrower and narrower with every passing moment.

Hum…

The six Stigmata Sorcerers summoned by the six Void Fortresses had reached their final moments, and the space-time power fluctuations had caused the light beam in the sky, where the fortresses were steering toward, to begin emitting a wave of distortion.

But at this moment…

Boom!

King Abaddon laughed wildly and flung the Purgatory Furnace toward the bottom of one of the Void Fortresses.

It was virtually unstoppable!

The terrifying explosion reverberated through the skies, and the flames of the Purgatory Furnace hit the air from the base of the hemispheric fortress at a high temperature, distorting and melting the surface alloy, thus pushing it to higher altitudes.

The Purgatory Furnace completely melted the base and easily reached a thickness of more than ten meters of blood-colored defense layer made of alloy, which was embedded in the fortress.

With a puff, the flames inside the fortress blazed glaringly from each exit.

Although the Void Fortress managed to retain its complete shape at this time, it had lost all its mechanical functions, withstanding the inertial force of the Purgatory Furnace, breaking through the clouds and pelting toward an even higher turbulent layer of the Infernal Spirt World.

At this moment, all the eyes in the great battlefield could not help but gaze at this sight.

With every Purgatory Giant displaying their fanaticism naturally, every Demon-Hunter Sorcerer felt an indescribable pain. The fundamental task in a Foreign Demon-Hunter expedition was to guard the Void Fortress!

The Sorcerers World had been invaded without the defense of a Void Fortress, which also meant that the true defeat and death of the sorcerers were about to begin.

Fortunately, at this time, there were six Void Fortresses in the Infernal Spirit World.

The plan of the Stigmata Sorcerers under the Celestial Mount in this Void Fortress had failed, but King Abaddon had an inexplicable feeling of disappointment and murmured, “Just a bit…”

Whoo…

Indistinctly, hundreds of sporadic Demon-Hunter Sorcerers escaped from the burning fortress.

The twenty-thousand-meter-diameter Void Fortress burning with blazing flames slowly plunged from the sky. It seemed that the fortress still had some energy fluctuations other than its mechanical energy.

Although Abaddon had destroyed all the command functions of the Void Fortress, he did not destroy its war platform essence. It was still a war platform that could barely fly in space.

“I was so close, to having brought this sky island to that guy.”

With a rumble, the Purgatory Furnace returned to King Abaddon’s shoulder again, with its golden lava that seemed to be a bit less visible.
