Chapter 410: 403

This was not an ordinary fireball, but a plasma flame clump transformed from magic power. Before coming into contact with a solid object, it would maintain its clustered form. The temperature of its outer flame was not high and it was able to suppress the high temperature and high pressure inside.

However, the moment it made contact with an object, the fireball would explode instantaneously, releasing the high temperature and high pressure inside and causing an explosion and high heat that would ignite anything it touched.

Therefore, the best way to deal with this kind of fireball spell was to activate the magic defense shield for protection. The magic defense shield would reverse transform the fireball, returning it to its original form as omnipresent magic power, immediately causing the high temperature and high pressure stored within the fireball to disappear without a trace.

Objects materialized by magic power were actually objects transformed from magic power, not real objects. This kind of transformation was unstable, hence these transformed objects could easily be decomposed and reverse-transformed back into a state of magic power.

In the Otherworld, only summoning magic was able to summon real objects, not materialized objects powered by magic. Creatures or objects summoned to the Otherworld would not undergo reverse transformation due to the instability of magic power.

Dodging the fireball, the two continued to shoot at the mages. Having lost the advantage of surprise, their firearms seemed powerless against the mages’ physical defense shield.

The bullets pounded on the invisible barrier like heavyweight punches, producing clear collision sounds. This sturdy shield, transformed from magic power, effectively resisted bullet-fire. Once such a magic shield was activated to the third level, ordinary bullets basically posed no threat.

After the initial confusion, the mages steadied themselves, recklessly activating their shield magic to resist the attacks of the Advance Team. The battlefield was suddenly filled with flying debris, bullets deflected by the shields fell into the mud and trees, unable to penetrate the mages’ shield.

"Moumou!" Seeing the inefficiency of gunfire, Luo’er patted Hu Daoke’s shoulder, both relocated behind the tree trunk, simultaneously Luo’er shouted loudly towards Tangmo.

"Roger!" Tangmo nodded and stepped forward, raising his wand and chanting spells towards the opposing side.

"Fixed-point explosion, activate!" Tangmo chanted the spell while thinking about it.

Under her guidance, magic power was emitted through the wand in her hand, forming a magic black hole in a designated location. In less than a second’s time, this black hole would rapidly absorb surrounding magic power, then after condensing, release it again. High-density magic power would repel and instantly expand to a normal state, spreading around and creating an explosion-like effect.

Such an explosion was not painful or ticklish to mages since their bodies could withstand such intensity of magic impact.

However, Tangmo had a reason for casting such a spell, and it wasn’t just a single fixed-point explosion, but a series of them.

In an instant, a series of explosions occurred along the front line of the opposing mages. Though the explosions had little lethal effect on them, they could cause disturbances among the mages. Rapid condensation of magic power around the mages would create a magic vacuum, interrupting their shield magic. Then the magic power that exploded in an instant could shock their hearts, interrupting their spell guidance, providing the Advance Team a few seconds of attack gap.

"Now’s the time!" Luo’er shouted loudly, and together with Hu Daoke, they leaned out and pulled the trigger at the mages.

"Da da da....."

Under the fierce gunfire of two automatic weapons, the mages on the other side were once again thrown into chaos, a few of them were immediately knocked down.

There’s a misconception to clarify here. Although the Advance Team was equipped with magic-breaking bullets, these bullets were just as effective against mages as standard bullets. Defense shield magic and defense runes transformed in different ways, so magic-breaking bullets couldn’t penetrate the defense shield activated by mages. It could only target armors engraved with defense runes.

And after two battles, the Advance Team had almost used up their supply of magic-breaking bullets. The bullets they were using now were just ordinary ones bought from the Blaiqi arms dealer by Hu Daoke.

After a round of gunfire, several more of the opposing mages fell, and the survivors once again activated their shields. This time they made a smart move. They no longer simply defended and retreated, but instead had some people raise shields while others started casting spells in retaliation.

Several fireballs were fired into the jungle and instantly exploded. The struck trees and shrubs started burning fiercely, and Luo’er and the others had to start shifting positions to avoid being hit.

A second-level fireball spell, neither overly strong nor weak, could instantly set a tree as thick as a bowl on fire when hurled over. So Luo’er and his team had to be on guard against it, because if hit by it, one would be set on fire.

As the one who had just caused the disturbance, Tangmo became the primary target of attention. She promptly dropped and rolled into the bushes without daring to activate her magic defense shield. The opposing side consisted predominantly of mages, who could easily locate her position through magic disturbances if she activated her magic shield, launching swift attacks on her.

"Boss, the firepower is too fierce!" Hu Daoke leaned against a tree trunk, yelling at Luo’er through the cover of the bushes.

They were not only facing fireball spells but also pinpoint explosion spells. In an instant, the whole shrubbery was filled with flames and explosions. The magicians turned the situation around in a blink, completely suppressing Luo’er and his comrades,

"Throw a smoke bomb!" Luo’er shouted, covering his head.

"Understood!" Hu Daoke responded loudly, then took out two smoke grenades from his pocket. He brutally pulled the pin out with his mouth and threw them forcefully towards the enemy.

The two smoke grenades immediately emitted a thick cloud of smoke, separating them from the magicians. But before they had a chance to celebrate, they heard a whistling wind sound. A wind blade instantly penetrated the smoke, creating a large hole.

"Damn it, wind magic!" Hu Daoke hastily drew back his neck, as the wind blade whizzed past his head, instantly severing a tree trunk as thick as a flag pole.

This kind of wind blade is actually a solid material transformed from magic power. It accelerates the magic particles to generate kinetic energy. When the magic particles fly at high speed, they drive the air molecules to produce a wind-like effect. Although it’s wind magic, the real thrust comes from the solid blade formed by the transformation of magic power.

Before he could finish speaking, several more wind blades shot out from the smoke. The resulting air current caused the smoke to form a miniature tornado. Their smoke screen was quickly punctured with holes.

"Come on, use your wind blades to cut this!" Exasperated, Luo’er took out two flashbang grenades from his pocket. Pulling the pin, he forcefully threw it towards the magicians.

With two loud bangs, the flashbangs emitted an intense light. The magicians, caught off guard, were blinded, and the deafening explosion caused their ears to ring.

"Move, move, move!" Seeing the weakening attack from the other side, Luo’er summoned Hu Daoke and Tangmo to move positions, while bending over.

This area had been devastated by magic attacks. If they stayed here any longer, they would probably be flattened by these magicians.

On the other hand, another assault team was also in a similar predicament, but their pressure was relatively less as the enemy’s main forces were focused on Luo’er’s side.

Nevertheless, lacking experience in facing magicians, they were also unable to lift their heads.

From afar, the sniper team was still supporting the assault team’s battle. Unlike Baiyue, Murong was an exceptional sharpshooter, so his primary role was to suppress their attack using long-range advantage, assisting the assault team in relieving their pressure. Baiyue, on the other hand, was fully focused on Fu’en, waiting for the right moment to snipe him down.

Since the battle began, however, Baiyue had locked onto Fu’en no less than ten times and made three exploratory shots, but they were all blocked by the magic shield activated by a nearby magician.

Watching him retreat leisurely to the south, Baiyue was frustrated. She knew that unless someone took out the magicians surrounding Fu’en, her sniping would hardly be effective. They wouldn’t need to kill all the magicians, just force them to change their physical defense shield to a magic defense shield using magic attacks. She could then seize that gap in the transition to complete a perfect snipe.

Finally managing to change positions, Luo’er took out a magic crystal grenade from his pocket and threw it towards the magicians after pulling the pin. He dared not lift his hand too high due to his psychological shadow.

Back at the Haiya Academy, they had participated in a World War One simulation. In that battle, he had had a finger shot off by an enemy bullet while throwing a grenade. Even though it was a simulation, it still left a lasting psychological impact on him. After moving to the Otherworld, he still dared not lift his hand too high when throwing a grenade.

The magic crystal grenade flew out and landed not far from the magicians, causing a violent flame explosion. However, due to the distance, the magic crystal grenade didn’t demonstrate its full damage potential. It only gave the magicians a fright, causing some of them to hastily start changing the nature of their shields.

Luo’er understood that the grenade attack was hardly a scratch. His intention was merely to divert the magicians’ attention to provide them an opportunity to change positions.

At this point, Luo’er had noticed that their small-team attack mode did not seem to work against the magicians. They were always being suppressed by the magicians. Watching Fu’en getting farther and farther away, Luo’er knew that he had to adjust the battle deployment, spreading his forces.

The magicians wouldn’t charge at them for close-range fights, so they could indeed disperse their team to launch scattered attacks. This way, the magicians wouldn’t be able to find a focus for their attack. It would be much better than being pressed together and
