The 90th to 100th floors of the Fissure Corridor were not standard floors.
The alchemists who were once responsible for constructing this ce hollowed out these ten floors, creating an underground city over a hundred meters tall.
The city’s area was about one-third the size of Union City’s Undercity.
At the very center of the city stood a tall, ck spire.
It was the core alchemical device used to spray the universal metal powder onto the ground level.<div>
On Spray Powder Day, the spire would open like petals, revealing the ultra-high-pressure airstream alchemy array within.
For the residents of ck City, the spire was more than just an alchemy device. The ground surrounding it was filled with alchemy pipelines transporting universal metal powder, energy pipelines delivering energy to the ultra-high-pressure airstream alchemy array, and arge warehouse storing the universal metal powder.
The spire and all the alchemy facilities around it were essential to the people of the ck City’s survival.
As long as these things continued to function normally, ck City would have the confidence to challenge the Alchemy Cathedral.
With the tower standing, the people stand too; when the tower falls, the people fall as well.
The illegal extraordinaries of ck City vowed to defend the spire to their deaths.
They envisioned themselves facing the army of the Alchemy Cathedral and struggling to survive under their opponents’ onught.
Yet, they never imagined that their opponents would consist of just two people.
One person had a fireball and an ice ball floating above their left and right palms, respectively. The other had an electric ball and a water ball floating above each hand.
The ice ball scattered frost and cold air towards the people of ck City. Swiftly spreading like a cold tide, it enveloped half of the city in under half a minute.
Despite being surrounded by the twobat wizards, the people of ck City weren’t afraid of such coldness. The bone-chilling coldness made their bodies shiver, but it didn’t cause any apparent damage.
Assuming that was their opponents’ full extent, the residents of ck Cityughed heartily, mocking their frost magic asical as stage decorations.<div>
However, theirughter soon ceased.
A me column several tens of meters long shot out from the fireball, its target not theughing ck City residents, but the frost particles floating above their heads.
The elemental reaction of ice followed by fire created an “Explosive Melting.”
All the suspended frost particles exploded simultaneously, releasing ferocious impacts as if ignited by the me column. The tremendous difference between ice and fire descended upon all ck City residents instantaneously.
The explosive airflow and thunderous roar were heart-shaking.
The fierce wind carried water droplets formed by the melting of frost particles, violently striking the people of ck City.
Illegal alchemists of ck City had activated their alchemy weaponry in advance, quickly stabilizing their footing amidst the explosive st. The illegal wandering wizards mixed among them also shielded themselves with “Magic Shield” in time.
Before these barriers could counterattack, thebat wizards’ second onught began.
Thebat wizard holding the water sphere and thunderball tossed the water sphere into the air, casting a downpour of dense rain. Amid the heavy rain, countless shes of lightning were shot out from the electric ball.
The elemental reaction of water followed by electricity created an “Electrosensitivity.”
All enemies struck by lightning after being soaked would release lightning towards nearby enemies in a continuous cycle. The electric snakes kept moving between enemies, weaving together an electric that shed with light.
Thebat wizards’ attacks didn’t end there.<div>
Just as the electric snakes were moving around, thebat wizard who controlled the fire and ice balls struck again.
He retracted the fireball, holding the ice ball with both hands, and fully stimted the ice elemental energy within the ice elemental sphere.
Raising the ice ball above his head, he made it spin rapidly between his palms, using centrifugal force to spray a sky-covering barrage of frost spikes.
The ice stings flew towards the electric, smashing into the ck City residents who had been struck by lightning and triggering explosions of ice fragments and electric sparks.
Water, ice, and lightning elemental energy appeared on the bodies of ck City residents simultaneously.
The elemental reaction of ice and lightning was “Frangible,” which reduced elemental and kic resistance.
The elemental reaction of ice and water was “Deep Freeze,” forcing the target to be frozen.
ck City residents became ice sculptures that emitted lightning towards theirrades.
The ice ball flew back to thebat wizard’s shoulder, its brightness dimming considerably, having consumed a significant amount of its frost energy.
Now, thebat wizard held the fireball with both hands, pushing it forward to release a new scorching me column.
The me column swept from left to right across the ice sculptures that were once ck City residents.
The “Explosive Melting” reaction of ice and fire struck once more.<div>
All the ice sculptures touched by the me column exploded, sending ice shards, bloody water, and limb fragments flying into the air.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
A series of continuous explosions sounded like tightly packed firecrackers.
In just two or three minutes, more than two-thirds of the illegal residents of ck City had been ughtered by the elemental power of ice, fire, water, and lightning.
“Such a bunch of misceneous soldiers not even on par with elemental demons. I really don’t know what’s the point of the Academy temporarily transferring us over to deal with these guys,” Gardner scoffed and shook his head inment.
He said to Kevin beside him:
“I’ll clean up here; you go check the situation in that spire. Once I’ve finished off these guys, I’lle find you.”
The water and electricity-wielding Kevin nodded:
“I’ll go ahead.”
