Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 733: Chapter 674: Plane Plundering

For the sorcerer’s side, this was the first time attacking such a complete plane with billions of creatures. For this reason alone, they had to exercise utmost caution.

“Where are the people, have they hidden themselves?”

“Interesting, it seems they want to buy time.”

“That’s a wise move. Did you notice? The situation here is very different from the campaign against the Little Black Moustache Plane. The power suppression here is too obvious.”

After entering the Extreme Beast Plane, Ivan and his group observed the surrounding conditions with keen interest, as well as the changes in their own situations.

They immediately sensed that the suppression here was unexpectedly ruthless, suppressing their power by thirty to forty percent, and increasing rapidly with the passage of time.

In fact, this is a commonality bestowed by the world’s planes, granting them self-preservation abilities.

Fortunately, the sorcerers had countermeasures, the most direct of which was the Great Transformation Technique.

“Let’s try it.”

“Together.”

The leading sorcerers exchanged glances and each performed the ‘Great Transformation Technique’ on the spot. After the Secret Technique was cast, their external appearance did not change, but their internal body constitution, aura, and power became entirely different.

Some even transformed completely from the inside out into another form. If seen by someone familiar, they would know this was the being of the Extreme Beast Plane.

“Not bad, the suppression reduced to just over ten percent.”

“I have less than ten percent left.”

“Adjust some more; this way, we can reduce more oppressive force and definitely sustain it a while longer, hoping to end this battle before the plane’s suppression turns into a complete lockdown.”

The group did not rush to attack but instead verified their past learnings, which could be considered a novel experience.

Their means to counter the plane’s oppression were of course not limited to the Great Transformation Technique but also included knowledge gleaned from the Little Black Moustache Plane. However, they were acutely aware that they were regarded as enemies by the plane’s will. Thus, these methods could only address symptoms, not the root cause.

If unable to completely conquer this plane, after a certain time, they would be expelled by the plane.

Otherwise, at the last, their full strength might only exert one or two tenths of their power, requiring taking great risks that would not be worth it.

“Everyone, let’s get down to business and proceed according to the plan.”

Soon, the True Witch King’s orders were issued, dividing the team into four, with several Void Kings and Ancient Kings leading the teams, descending towards the ground in multiple directions.

Among them, the True Witch King and Long Sky Witch King, being very powerful, chose to act alone.

…

West Pole City.

This city was undoubtedly the most prosperous and oldest city on the land, none other. The other three famous cities, East Pole City, South Pole City, and North Pole City, did not compare.

The majority of races in the region where West Pole City was located believed in the God of Breaking Calamity.

Among the numerous creatures, a race called the ‘Yellow Armor Tribe’ held the majority. The Yellow Armor Tribe was born with ‘Yellow Armor Body Protection’ and often claimed that their race was of the divine lineage of the God of Breaking Calamity.

“Look, the figures in the sky have disappeared.”

“Let everyone be cautious, those demons from beyond the sky might be commencing their actions; our West Pole City might be their primary target.”

Extreme West City, worthy of being the number one famous city, even though most people were uneasy, the order here remained relatively intact. However, many of the elite City Guards had been withdrawn.

Suddenly, a figure landed in front of the city.

“Halt, is that Lord Kerke?” The City Guard Commander responded belatedly, wielding a sword towards the figure, only to find it was someone familiar, a person of significance.

“Little Bart, you’re on city guard duty today?” Kerke greeted casually.

“Lord, why are you coming from outside? Weren’t you—-” Bart did not relax his guard and stammered.

“Little Bart, you know my identity, don’t pry into things you shouldn’t, or the consequences will be more than you and your brothers can bear, understand?”

In an instant, outside the city, Kerke flashed onto the city wall and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

Looking at the other’s warm smile, as the Commander of the City Guard, Bart felt a chill in his heart. From the information he knew, this Kerke Ancient King should have fallen.

For morale considerations, it was not publicly announced, yet not known by most outsiders.

So who was this person in front of him?

Why did the defensive array on the city wall show no reaction?

“Commander Bart, I have a task for you. Now it’s a critical moment and not a hint of disclosure can be tolerated. I’ve decided to personally inspect various parts of the city, you’ll come with me.”

While Bart was lost in thought and indecision, Kerke ordered in an unquestionable tone.

“Lord, I still have important duties; could you—-” Bart certainly did not want to, cautiously explaining.

“Do you want to disobey me?” Kerke’s face darkened, abruptly interrupting him, appearing very displeased.

At this moment, Bart directly sensed immense crisis, as if one foot had stepped onto the threshold of death, and fine beads of cold sweat seeped from many places on his body.

He understood that if he answered this wrong, his life would definitely be forfeit.

“I, I, I—-”

“Commander, what Lord Kerke said is very true, you might as well accompany the Lord there for a while, we’re here to hold on.”

While Bart was struggling internally and finding it difficult to decide, the Deputy Commander not far away spoke to persuade, like a straw that broke the camel’s back, causing Bart to nod in hesitation.

“You are the Deputy Commander of the Fourth Brigade?”

“Reporting to the Lord, I am indeed the Deputy Commander of the Fourth Brigade, Shanfri.”
