Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys Chapter 1594 - 550: An Unstoppable Strike!

It perceived clearly that, unlike the sideways spread of energy, the profound penetration of energy deep underground for kilometers was what truly instilled terror!

This... the might of the master's witchcraft proves far too overwhelming...

Metheus's instincts proved spot on.

The spectacle of power unfolding in his view served only as a mere show.

In truth, as a Dawn Peak wizard boasting full crystallization, Rein's complete unleashing of the Dawn Killing Move 'Steel Forest' emphasized vertical depth over any broad lateral growth.

Beneath the surface, hidden from sight.

The layer of dark silver metal flowed like a slender water thread, or akin to all-pervading mercury, swiftly infiltrating the network of intersecting tunnels of varying widths.

Numerous defensive and alert witch arrays, which had only just started glowing with witchcraft radiance, got engulfed by waves of dark silver metallic surges in the instant that followed, vanishing away like illusory bubbles.

Meanwhile, clusters of watchful alien spiders, detecting the utter peril, emitted shrill cries while fleeing chaotically into the tunnel depths, resembling panicked headless insects.

Any delay or choice of blocked paths led to those alien spiders getting swiftly ensnared by the oncoming metallic waves, only to be impaled by emerging metal spikes moments later!

Regarding the Tutkash school wizards, be they at fogging, liquification, or crystalization stages, those opting for immediate flight managed a bit more time alive; resisters remained got devoured entirely by the dark silver metallic surges.

The vibrant spells they unleashed all collided with the metallic waves without fail, akin to pebbles dropped into a pond, causing fleeting ripples that soon calmed, failing to halt or impede the advance of the dark silver metallic surges.

For the caster of this spell was Rein, endowed with exceptional metal element affinity, the Steel Heart Advanced Meditation Method, and mastery at the pinnacle of the Dawn Wizard Path!

"Sect Leader! The enemy has invaded!" A frantic Tutkash wizard dashed into Graham’s lab, shouting.

Yet the moment he stepped inside, he stood rooted to the spot.

For he beheld his sect leader Graham positioned upon a witch array clearly meant for transmission.

Was retreat his intention?

But what of the school wizards battling outside?

In fact, from the very start of Rein's incantation, Graham, a Dawn Level High Rank Wizard, had detected the massive influx of metallic energy particles.

Even more alarming to him was the sheer force of this spell's surge, rendering him utterly powerless to counter!

A feeling of doom loomed inescapably!

Fortunately, after his prior defeat at Rein's hands, he had prepared an escape plan in advance.

Abruptly, a massive, fluid rush of dark silver metallic surges appeared at the doorway, enveloping the shocked messenger wizard on the spot.

"Sect Leader... save..."

The wizard delivering the report twisted in agony and desperation, his arms stretching toward Graham against his will, yet frozen immobile.

Observing this, Graham's face remained stoic, even as his mind seethed with fierce resentment:

"Just you wait! Rein, once Neyubrekan regains some divine power and sends down another avatar, your end will come!"

Prior to the metallic surges' arrival, a burst of green light flashed, and Graham disappeared instantly from view.

The ground's transmission array detonated with a sharp 'bang' as well.

....

"Huh? This wave..."

Rein detected a faint spatial fluctuation.

Concurrently, his dark silver metallic surges had penetrated to the lowest depths of the Tutkash school’s subterranean headquarters.

"No way, did Graham escape?" Rein expressed mild astonishment.

At once, he blinked out of existence there.

Upon rematerializing, Rein stood within the chamber Graham had lately occupied.

Rein directed his attention downward to the floor.

The ruined transmission array revealed that Graham lacked the courage to face him and had fled outright.

This prompted Rein to give a wry smile and shake his head:

"I should have let the Isodre School wizards strike first; now see, I've frightened him off."

...

Before long, Rein's form emerged once more above ground.

"Alright, organize the cleanup this afternoon; plenty of Tutkash school’s valuable books and resources lie below—Sect Leader, the arrangements fall to you." Rein approached Moria, stating.

"Huh? Rein Crown, it’s already... over?" Moria, still reeling, stared at Rein in bewilderment.

The other High Rank wizards shared the profound shock, their eyes fixed on Rein.

Is it truly concluded?

"Yes, Graham got away, but I've handled all the remaining Tutkash school wizards and alien spider packs."

Rein’s declaration left the assembled group in stunned quiet for a few moments, then erupted into roaring cheers like a tidal wave...

A few wizards, doubting it still, hurried eagerly to the entrance to verify if, as Rein Crown claimed, every one of those vexing foes had been truly vanquished.
