    Gardner gathered his strength, extracting what little ice energy remained from the Ice Elemental Sphere. He summoned two huge icicles in front of him andunched them at the two lightning tornadoes in the area.


    Then, two ming columns shot out from the Fire Elemental Sphere. Its glow suddenly dimmed as nearly all of its energy was shared with the columns of mes.


    “Boom~~~”


    Roaring and explosions erupted throughout the Grand Hall.


    Lightning and ice’s ‘Frangible’, lightning and fire’s ‘Overload’, ice and fire’s ‘Explosive Melting’, water and fire’s ‘Evaporation’, lightning and water’s ‘Electrosensitivity’, and water and ice’s ‘Freezing’.”<div>


    Four types of elemental energies formed six elemental reactions, including effects that reduced an enemy’s resistance, controlled enemies, enhanced explosive damage, triggered secondary explosions, strengthened group damage, and aidedbustion with high-temperature steam to further reinforce me damage.


    Thebat wizards of the Elemental Faction conquered their enemies through the violent reactions between elements.


    The spire shook, the Grand Hall trembled.


    Samuelson and the Soul-stealing Wizard seemed to give up resistance, enduring the onught of elemental energy and the high-energy reaction.


    Kevin sensed something was amiss.


    He asked uncertainly:


    “Are those two dead? This seems a bit too easy, doesn’t it? We have mental protection pendants in hand, so Samuelson can’t resist us, but he should have thought about escaping, right? Why didn’t he fly out of the storm? And that Soul-stealing Wizard. I heard that such wizards can forcibly extract souls. I wanted to see what he’s capable of, but why is he just standing there like a wooden doll?”


    Gardner listened to hispanion’s words, shook his head slightly, and his eyes filled with caution.


    His disdain for the enemy was built on confidence and strength. He mocked the enemy, but when it came to action, he struck with full force. He urged the energy within the elemental spheres with all his might to utterly annihte the enemy.


    The elemental reaction ‘Evaporation’ between water and fire createdrge amounts ofbustion-supporting high-temperature gas.


    As elemental energy weakened, the colorless gas became thinner, and the lightning and mes inevitably weakened.


    Their vision gradually cleared up.<div>


    Gardner and Kevin stared wide-eyed at the location of Samuelson and the Soul-stealing Wizard.


    Two relieved sighs rang out in the hall.


    “Phew~ Those two are dead.” Gardner summoned a long strip of fire from the Fire Elemental Sphere and, at a distance of several dozen meters, turned over the charred remains left by the Soul-stealing Wizard.


    A deformed metal scythe was caught by the fire strip andnded in Gardner’s hand.


    Kevin summoned a water belt, rummaged through Samuelson’s remains, and found some unburnt feathers.


    Kevin looked closely at the feathers brought by the water belt and slowly nodded his head, saying:


    “They should both be dead. Let’s take their evidence back to report.”


    The two of them searched through the wreckage heap with their respective energy belts and took out items that represented the identities of Samuelson and the Soul-stealing Wizard. After inspecting these items, they ced them in the magic pouch for sealing the evidence.


    As the energy belts swept the remains on the ground, arge area of ck luminous patterns appeared on the floor.


    “What are these patterns?”


    Gardner stared at the patterns, pondering, and asked:


    “Do you recognize their meaning?”<div>


    Kevin shook his head:


    “No, I don’t. It should be the array pattern of the spire, right? It’s said that this spire is an ultrarge ultra-high pressure airstream alchemy array. It’s specifically used to blow powder to the surface. So these patterns here should be just a part of the ultra-high pressure airstream array.”


    After Kevin finished speaking, he stared at the ck light emanating from the array, and his tone became puzzled:


    “But I’ve heard that alchemy here is not based on elemental energy, so its array should have the colors of the elements, right? Why is it ck? What energy has the color ck?”


    Gardner and Kevin’s bodies shuddered, and they eximed in unison:


    “Damn it! It’s Death Energy!”


    The two of them suddenly realized that something was terribly wrong.


    But before they could transform into fireballs and water spheres to fly out of the Grand Hall, the burnt Nest Core exploded.


    “Bang!!!!!”


    The Nest Core exploded and disintegrated, with countless charred chunks of flesh and Filthy Blood sttering everywhere.


    A pitch-ck fissure appeared where the Nest Core once stood. Endless ck smoke spewed from the fissure, pouring into the Grand Hall like a torrential river.


    A semi-transparent human shadow drifted out of the fissure.<div>


    This shadow floated in the air like a ghost, its head resembling a phantom-like metal scythe.


    Gardner and Kevin rose to the sky, avoiding the ck smoke flowing on the ground. They stared solemnly at the semi-transparent figure nearby.


    They were all too familiar with the scythe-like appearance of the figure’s head.


    “Soul-stealing Wizard!” Gardner cursed through gritted teeth:


    “Damn it! What did you do! What is this ck smoke? And what is that fissure?!”


    Kevin held on to his elemental sphere, gathering elemental energy to prepare for casting.


    The Soul-stealing Wizard ignored the two of them.


    He raised his arms, bringing the two souls in his left and right hands in front of him.


    He held Samuelson’s soul in his left hand, which was a semi-transparent ck crow with its neck being grasped.
