Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 926 - 403: Hunting Evil!_2

The dim blue frame’s energy patterns suddenly flared with intense light, initiating a rapid transformation of the entire mechanical body.

Its original humanoid form disintegrated and reformed into a versatile war machine.

From its back, six pairs of metallic wings unfurled, each tip adorned with a different weapon system.

The Energy Core within its chest began a furious rotation, causing minor spatial distortions nearby due to the overwhelming energy output.

"Target acquired."

A robotic voice announced, its contained menace making every enemy present uneasy:

"Commencing eradication sequence."

All six pairs of wings unleashed their payload simultaneously. However, the projectiles weren't standard energy beams, but rather highly condensed Aura of Chaos.

Karola’s Plant Legion bore the initial onslaught.

The formidable man-eating flowers and ancient, decaying trees were reduced to mere paper against the concentrated Aura of Chaos.

Plants caught in the blast didn’t merely perish; they were utterly annihilated, denied even the slightest chance of regeneration.

"To imbue one’s creations with their very essence, to wield power with such refined control..."

For the first time, Maggs’ voice carried a noticeable weight of seriousness:

"Could it be that Nari achieved that breakthrough while I was not paying attention?"

The earlier jeers from the spectators had vanished completely, replaced by a palpable and growing sense of dread.

A collective realization dawned upon everyone: Nari’s Legion was far more potent than its initial appearance suggested.

These three seemingly 'inferior' entities each possessed devastating capabilities that could decisively turn the tide of battle.

Adjacent to them, the three Apostles – Delir, Kempes, and Kro – were also closely observing the unfolding events on the battlefield.

"Fascinating..." Delir noted the significant losses among his forces, yet his eyes, illuminated by green fire, showed no trace of anger:

"Nari actually dares to publicly display her 'new power.' She must either possess extreme confidence, or..."

"...Or she has laid a deliberate trap."

Kempes continued the thought, his form subtly flickering across different spatial dimensions:

"Regardless, this presents an ideal moment for observation."

Kro remained silent, his gaze intently fixed on the proceedings, faint temporal cracks appearing at his fingertips.

On the western fringe of the arena, the final participant, Alpha, advanced with her slowly progressing legion.

Alpha, known as the "Thought Worm," presented an unsettling visage.

Her entire being was an intricate weave of innumerable silver neural fibers, each terminating in a micro-brain, suspended like ripening fruit.

These brains varied in size, encompassing those of humans, demons, and even unidentifiable extraterrestrial entities.

With every movement she made, hundreds of these brains pulsed in unison, emitting a disorienting mental wave.

Her commanded force consisted of one hundred activated mazes.

These mazes manifested as miniature architectural dioramas.

Yet, closer examination revealed that the walls of each maze writhed subtly, their internal pathways continuously shifting and reforming.

They radiated an eerie Spiritual Energy, capable of instantly ensnaring any consciousness that dared to probe their inner workings, pulling it into a labyrinthine mental trap.

"Alpha's Consciousness Maze Legion..." hushed whispers circulated through the crowd:

"Each maze is a self-contained spiritual prison, having previously captured the souls of numerous Silver Ring explorers."

"Can Nari’s little contraptions contend with those?"

As the hundred consciousness mazes drew nearer, they activated in concert, projecting overlapping fields of distorted Spiritual Force.

These fields merged, creating an immense consciousness trap designed to ensnare the enemy’s minds within an unending labyrinth.

——Spiritual Prison: A Thousandfold Obstacle

The consciousness mazes emitted a piercing mental shriek, releasing silver threads of thought that rained down like a barrage of arrows upon Nari’s Legion.

The Sonic Jellyfish were the first to absorb the brunt of this assault.

Upon contact with the silver threads, the jellyfish began to convulse violently, their internal prismatic lights losing their orderly patterns and becoming erratic.

"Ha! The initial wave is about to be defeated!" exclamations of excitement erupted from the audience.

However, to the astonishment of all, the Sonic Jellyfish swiftly regained their stability.

Their consciousness structure, rendered almost blank in its purity, inadvertently served as the most effective defense.

The intricate mental mazes found it impossible to establish sufficiently complex constructs within such a simple consciousness, much like attempting to etch an elaborate design onto a perfectly smooth mirror – a futile endeavor.

"Impossible?" Alpha expressed her shock as her subordinates’ ultimate strategy faltered:

"How could the consciousness of these inferior beings..."

Furthermore, the Sonic Jellyfish initiated their own counter-offensive.

They collectively released a specific sonic frequency, which directly disrupted the propagation of mental waves.

The meticulously constructed maze networks devised by Alpha began to display signs of instability and erratic functioning.
