Chapter 327: Chapter 78: The Fisherman Never Leaves Empty-Handed, Until He Himself is Hooked_1
“So it was, it was so.”
After Assad had finished laughing, he explained the reason for his laughter to Link.
After hearing the story, Link found out that an Abyss Demon had been sealed within the realm border of the Fairy World.
And before, someone in the Fairy King’s Court had sent a call request to this demon.
Or more accurately, the call request issued by the Fairy King’s Court exposed the existence of this demon.
This allowed the Wizard Army, who previously had no idea of the demon’s existence, to discover it.
Known, and unknown, are two different states.
They pertain to the initiative in war.
The difference between the two is enormous.
Especially when facing demons from the Abyss World, a kind that wizards are extremely familiar with and have gained many advantages over in the past.
Based on the intelligence he had obtained in the past, Assad believed that the Fairy King may have made a foolish move.
That is, he made a deal with the sealed demon, obtaining a biochemical transformation and enhancement plan with a hook attached.
Since the academic line of biochemicals wasn’t part of the Fairy World’s civilization development process.
Therefore, the Fairy King did not even discover this obvious hook.
Not only did he trap himself, but he also trapped a large number of distorted fairies.
If the Wizard World did not interfere, the Fairy World would eventually be lured away by the Abyss World.
“Abyss Demon?”
Link murmured to himself, deep in thought.
What he was thinking about was not how to deal with this demon.
This was a matter for Sage Palo and the Front Line Command Post, not something Link needed to concern himself with.
Moreover, in the history of the Wizard World, there have been too many precedents for dealing with Abyss Demons.
Many stable and effective methods have already been established.
Wizards have a proven track record of defeating demons.
This is a widely accepted “rule” in all heavens and realms!
Any effective strategy can be slightly modified according to the actual situation and it should be easy to defeat the demon.
What Link was thinking about was the biochemical transformation and enhancement plan for the fairies, which was almost certainly devised by the demon.
Even if a flaw was deliberately left in the material ratio, it still shows an ingenious approach, a comprehensive and profound understanding of the fairy’s body structure, innate special powers, and a glimpse of a mature knowledge system.
These things provide certain insights for Link.
Not only in terms of biochemical transformation.
But also related to species diversity, species evolution, ecological cycles, and most importantly, the cultivation of “seeds”.
Furthermore, Link intuitively understood one principle.
In all heavens and realms, knowledge is the primary combat power.
As Level 4 beings, Sage Palo was able to grievously wound the Fairy King with one strike, while the Abyss Demon was able to deceive the Fairy King.
This is related to the capacity of the Fairy World being only Level 5, but not entirely so.
The Fairy King, for the most part, suffered for his lack of education.
Like two 180 cm tall 200-pound men, one can either be flabby with fat or strong with muscle.
Lack of education is truly frightening.
At this moment, Assad suddenly tilted his head, his expression serious, as if listening to something.
Then, he said to Link, “Pack up, we are leaving immediately. Boss Otis has found something new.”
While they were in the “biochemical factory”, where their Magic Tools for communication failed, yet they were still able to receive messages.
Only a True Spirit Wizard like Assad could do this.
The principle is very similar to quantum communication based on quantum superposition and quantum entanglement.
It is very secure, able to prevent eavesdropping, resist interference, and can achieve long-distance communication in special environments.
Like now, deep behind enemy lines, at a great distance.
“Yes,” replied Link.
Link refocused his scattered thoughts and efficiently began to pack up the samples and equipment.
After some thought, Link decided to take both the completed potions scattered around and the potions he had synthesized himself.
They might come in handy later.
The two of them moved quickly and stealthily exited the “biochemical factory”.
The invisibility effects, including but not limited to optics, acoustics, and spiritual power, held up very well.
They moved in and out, passing by many fairies, but not a single fairy noticed them.
After leaving the “biochemical factory”, Assad chose his direction and sprinted off without a word.
Link flexed his legs, sprinted like the wind, and hurried to catch up.
When they were at a safe distance, Assad stopped, closed his eyes and focused for a moment, then remotely detonated the numerous “timed bombs” he had set up.
This too was a characteristic of a True Spirit Wizard, an advanced application of spiritual power or mind power in combat.
Soon after, a deafening explosion came from behind them.
A mushroom cloud rose where the “biochemical factory” had been.
The not-so-small “biochemical factory” was completely destroyed in an instant, collapsing into ruins.
Fairies, who had not had time to evacuate and transfer, were either blown to pieces or buried under the ruins, not understanding how they had died until their last moment.
The fairies who were lucky enough to be outside the blast area, after a short period of shock and disbelief, went into a complete frenzy.
Many fairies, disregarding the potential second explosion and the danger to their lives, rushed directly into the sky full of smoke and dust in an attempt to rescue survivors.
Those who had innate special powers that could help with the digging used them.
Those whose special powers could not help, used tools to dig.
Those who couldn’t use their special powers and didn’t have any handy tools at the moment, just started digging with their hands.
Cries of despair echoed throughout the field, and curses shook the heavens.
Sorrow, anger, pain, and rage spread.
A cloud of despair hung over the fairies’ heads.
