Chapter 266: Getting In (1)
Right now, they saw him summon a thunder Titan. He gathered elements outside his body and made them fight on their own. Even though this summoned Titan was only as strong as a Warlord, each of its normal attacks was as powerful as a Commander\'s full strike. This was beyond their understanding.
"This is a type of Evocation magic. I\'m not very good at it. Mages who specialize in this at level three can use their magic to control dozens of times their own elemental power, summoning a large army of elemental creatures," Adam said humbly.
He specialized in release and force field magic and only knew a bit about this type. His great power came from his huge magic reserves and his special talent for multithreading.
Iron 27 and Qi 31 were shocked. Adam spoke casually, but they didn\'t think it was simple.
A thunder Titan wasn\'t a big deal for Warlords like them, but Adam said it was just a consumable that could be produced endlessly as long as there was enough energy---This was scary. Even the Metal Eaters, the strongest creatures they knew, couldn\'t do this.
If there were many mages like Adam in the Mage World, and if each had his power, that world...
"Too scary," Iron 27 muttered.
Adam summoned two more thunder Titans and sent them to different places to distract the Metal Eaters\' patrols. The Titans charged into the patrols after \'greeting\' them and lured them away.Once all the Metal Eaters around the recording rune set were drawn away, Adam signaled the others to follow him carefully.
When his telekinesis touched the rune set, many images flooded his mind. He quickly reviewed them and found the Metal Eaters\' movements were indeed problematic. They were destructively mining resources, and large groups passed through here into the alert zone at regular intervals.
Suddenly, Adam\'s eyes narrowed. He quickly projected an image and pointed at a huge, terrifying shadow on it, asking the two, "What is this?!"
The two looked at the image. Flame energy surged from them, almost breaking the invisible force field. They exclaimed in shock, "Angel! This is the Angel\'s brood!"
"What\'s an Angel? Is that what you call the Royals among the Metal Eaters?"
Qi 31 grabbed Adam, panicking, "Give me this image! I must inform the Lords immediately, or the consequences will be devastating!"
Adam frowned and tried to calm him, "Don\'t worry. The elves I left in York City can relay the message for you. Now, tell me, what is an Angel?"
...
On the journey that followed, the three were somewhat distracted.
The Titans worried about a full-scale war from the Metal Eaters, while Adam felt uneasy. He had underestimated these creatures. Their reaction was swift, and they knew how to nip threats in the bud.
"Master, a thousand kilometers ahead is the alert zone," Garfield whispered. "Should we still go? The Metal Eaters have chosen this moment to act. I think it has something to do with you."
Seeing Adam remain silent, Garfield continued, "Master, do you remember the reaction of the Cthulhu radiation monsters during your first mission? They craved magic power and would give up everything to capture you. The knowledge you show now is similar to revealing your magic back then, but the Titans are friendlier."
"But the Metal Eaters are different. They have powerful beings. I think, in the eyes of the Devourer, your value and that of the Mage World are higher than Titania."
"It can\'t do anything to the Mage World, but you are different. If this flying beast is really attracted to you and comes down, will the revival methods you and I have left still work?"
Garfield made a good point. He couldn\'t even imagine the abilities of such powerful beings.
But worrying about this now was pointless. The Devourer was busy corrupting the Origin. If it wanted to attack Adam, it would have done so already. Since it hadn\'t, it meant corrupting the source was still difficult. Titania\'s peace until now proved that. Their immediate concern was the Angels.
With this in mind, Adam led the two to a safe place, deep underground, and then released Garfield. "Go bring back all the recording magic you left. Be quick. Forget about those put in dangerous areas."
At this moment, Garfield understood the urgency and carried out Adam\'s orders without hesitation. Using all his abilities, he circled the alert zone in six hours, retrieving seventeen recording magic rune sets.
Adam, along with Iron 27 and Qi 31, carefully reviewed the recordings multiple times. Afterward, Iron 27 spoke heavily, "Aside from the first Angel stationed in the Land of Divine Revelation, the other six Angels have left their defense zones. This can only mean one thing: a full-scale war or the Devourer\'s arrival."
"I don\'t think there\'s any exception."
"During the last full-scale war, did the Angels participate, I mean directly?"
"The first Angel never left the Land of Divine Revelation. The other six all participated in the later stages of the war, targeting the Lords."
"So, in the short term, they won\'t leave the Land of Divine Revelation, correct?"
Iron 27 shook his head, "I don\'t know where the Angels were or what they were doing in the early stages of the war. Adam, the mission this time..."
Adam spoke firmly, "We must not give up on this mission; on the contrary, I think we should accelerate it. If the Angels might return to their defense zones, now might be the only, and safest, time. Trust me, this mission is crucial."
Adam projected a 3D map, showing not just the terrain but also the detailed numbers and positions of the Metal Eaters. He drew a straight line between their current location and the target point. "We don\'t have time to hide anymore. Next, I need you to divert the Metal Eaters for me."
