Chapter 277: Things Got Intense as Four Calamities Clashed
The convergence of the four great Calamities in one area had a devastating impact.
The Mages' City of Endymion floated in the sky at the edge of the world. Its crumbling white marble buildings drifted peacefully in space, with pale wings gently fluttering in the barely perceptible breeze.
Several white rings trembled beneath the sky, while the three broken human statues towering in the center crumbled even further.
At this moment, the mages in the council were particularly puzzled. They had emerged from their mage spaces only to find everyone around them in the same situation.
Magic had failed - the four elements of wind, thunder, water and fire seemed completely unusable. Only earth and wood elements remained normal.
Not long after, a green bird flew above the floating island, passing through the magic ravine and the misty magical environment. Finally, it arrived above the seventh layer of broken clouds.
The highest seventh layer was where the council resided.
Heim Horn stood beneath the three broken heads at the highest point, gazing down at the clouds. The sky seemed to be controlled by some kind of energy.
The cloud layer was severed, with a huge gap torn out of it. Looking through it, countless thunder clouds and storms intermingled in the sky, while rain fell ceaselessly all around. In the highest sky, a blazing sun hung overhead, seemingly symbolizing the extraordinary weather.
Heim Horn raised his head and received the approaching green bird. This was Rachel's nature sparrow - he recognized it at a glance.
Rachel's voice rang out from the green bird's mouth: "Three hundred and ten miles west of the Karensia Empire, in the Padalenbu Sea region, four elemental energies have converged and fallen into turmoil."
Listening to Rachel's explanation, Heim Horn seemed to finally understand. As a fourth-tier mage, he too had sensed the elements becoming scarce within Endymion.
Most magic was based on the six major elements. At this moment, it was as if the world's four major elements had been completely drained, as if only enough remained for one person to use.
Heim Horn couldn't help but ask Rachel: "Where did this information come from?"
The green bird opened its mouth again and slowly said: "It was Council Member Finni. She saw everything."
That mermaid? How did she end up near the Empire?
Wait a minute...
As if thinking of something, Heim Horn quickly asked: "Near the Empire... is Council Member Kravina in the vicinity?"
Heim Horn fell silent for a moment, then the green bird opened its beak and released a magical force that formed an image in the air.
It was another nature sparrow. It had flown three hundred and ten miles, its eyes lighting up above the sea. At the same time, the image instantly formed, appearing before Heim Horn.
When Heim Horn looked, he immediately fell silent.
It was the location of the Padalenbu Sea region, where massive waves now raged. Lightning and storms suddenly whirled and flashed above the sea surface, while lava and flames constantly erupted between the wind and waves.
Viktor stood alone between four giant beasts, his coat violently flapping behind him like an elegant gentleman's tailcoat. Below his feet was an astonishing lush forest, hovering above the sea surface.
The wood element emanating from it released an incredibly magnificent vitality - an extremely intense natural force. It was protecting all the overwhelming terrible powers, preventing them from leaking into other areas.
Heim Horn could see at a glance. Without that forest, the energy from this sea region battle would likely have already spread to surrounding countries and other sea areas.
The voice of the nature sparrow rang in Heim Horn's ears.
"In fact, the scene you're seeing now has been going on for exactly one day."
"I don't know how he's doing it, but..." As if not believing it himself, the nature sparrow fell silent for a moment before speaking again. "He has been fighting here for a full day already."

Water and fire were incompatible, while storm and thunder regarded each other as enemies.
As if praying to the burning flames, Guledon drew fire from the scorched earth below, shaping it into rings that encircled his body.
[Scorching Bombardment]
In the next second, that scarlet flame became like solidified quicksand, with space rippling like waves under the impact of heat waves. The ocean waves seemed to flee in panic, hurriedly surging away.
Thick foam leaped over the magma pillars, striking the sea with an impactful force. The temperature began to rise rapidly around Guledon, making the air unusually thin. The scorched continent below also seemed to be covered with a layer of orange clouds, continuously spreading outward.
Guledon took heavy steps, constantly approaching Dozale, as if wanting to force magma into Dozale's mouth.
Dozale was equally unwilling to back down, as the ocean below began to rapidly twist. The entire sea surface seemed to be given life, with waves gathering as if the world was about to be swallowed by the ocean.
The humid and heavy air collided with those dry reefs. The red orange sea and thick wave clouds crashed together. The violent sizzling sound and thick steaming mist completely merged together.
Like forming a protective screen around Dozale, completely enveloping it. Soon, the huge blue body gradually became wrapped in a natural energy of water elements. Blue ripples began to mix completely with those vapors, gathering at Dozale's tail.
[Ocean Star Strike]
In the next second, that heavy air suddenly burst forth. Dozale shot forward like a huge blue bullet leaving a gun barrel, violently entering the terribly hot world ahead.
Two different colored chaotic energies collided with each other. It seemed as if both land and waves became extremely fragile under this terrifying vibration. Everything began to collapse with a rumble.
Only pure energy surged and fluctuated, as if wanting to tear the already void space to pieces.
The waves on the sea surface were in chaos, and the movements of Guledon and Dozale were dazzling. Even Doragon and Reilis similarly became embodiments of fury.
Above the rolling black clouds, two dragons of different forms trembled slightly. Their eyes were filled with red excitement and wild anger, with blood-colored patterns constantly spreading in their pupils.
[Cloud Rotating Sky]
The wind around Doragon's body made the entire sky chaotic. The invisible storm was like high-speed rotating blades, violently tearing apart the surrounding space.
The pressure from both sides suddenly swept across the entire sky. The heavy force was like giant rocks hanging on Doragon's body. Even bearing mountain-like pressure, Doragon still swam freely in the clouds, its white body circling around Reilis.
Terrifying air waves leaked from its body, crashing towards the huge black dragon. Fierce lightning flashed around Reilis's body. The entire sky became no longer deep under this terrible brilliance.
Lightning continued to spread along the wind to the surroundings, making the clouds completely flash with an angry taste. Soon, the engine tail fins behind Reilis became extremely bright.
Large amounts of thunder elements began to gather around, making the entire cloud layer extremely agitated.
[Trembling Thunder]
When the entire sea of clouds became agitated, Doragon also completely released its power.
[Storm's Choice]
The thick clouds also became extremely turbulent, with rolling waves and thunder intermingling. It was as if swift power suddenly impacted both sides' internal organs.
[Brilliant Lightning Arrow]
Lightning burst brilliantly from Reilis's wings, violently surging thunder from around its body. The yellowish-green meandering lightning now became extremely dangerous, pointing directly at Doragon darting through space.
The white dragon body shuttled between the sea of clouds, dodging the incoming lightning arrows.
[Fury of the Gale]
The wind leaking between scales quickly cut into the hard skin on Reilis's body. The heavy storm continued to roll from the surroundings, rapidly shrinking toward the center.
Viktor's coat swayed in the air as he constantly flashed between the four giant beasts. When Dozale completely collided with Guledon, both ocean and scorched earth began to shatter.
The heavy energy completely turned to smoke and surged into the forest land. Viktor had already approached close to Dozale's side and stretched out his arm.
Carrying heavy magical power, he thrust his arm through the thick flowing water that was like blue flames, completely adhering to Dozale's body.
[Fourth-tier Magic: Explosive Scar]
Bang!
Fire elements quickly gathered in his hand, the scorching sensation was completely ignited from the thin and chaotic air around. The violent explosion completely engulfed everything, with red smoke suddenly rising.
After suffering the fierce attack, the blue beast staggered and retreated. Just as Dozale was about to turn back to attack Viktor, he found Viktor had already moved far away from him.
Moving like a shadow, riding the wind.
Wherever Viktor landed, he would take out a blue potion from his clothes and gulp it down. Because they were simple to make, Viktor had accumulated thousands of mana potions.
He rarely needed them normally since Vega would replenish his mana. But now, with these mana potions, even he alone could grind against these Calamities until dawn.
Suddenly, a purple lightning bolt struck down from the sky like a falling blade, rapidly heading towards Viktor.
As if Viktor had calculated this already, green vine barriers suddenly rose from below him. The thick leaves intertwined, completely twisting in front of him, blocking the lightning outside.
[Tenacious Wood Resolution]
The lightning completely failed to penetrate Viktor's barrier, forcing Reilis to calm the lightning.
By this time, Doragon had already rolled its body to shake off the lightning chasing it, turning to charge fiercely at Reilis.
The two great Calamities in the sky clashed again. The rolling dragon body wrapped around Reilis's body. Wind constantly rose up, carrying flashing wind marks, continuously colliding with the black dragon.
The clouds rolled, flashing with shocking lightning. White and yellow-green completely mixed, like two thoroughly merged inks fighting over the canvas.
Viktor floated in the air, looking at the two great Calamities that had already hidden in the clouds, then narrowed his eyes.
"What a hassle."
