"Blood Mist Hand!"
The blood mist swirling around Flax instantly formed a gigantic, backward-curling crimson hand that lunged directly at Dago's face.
The terrifying crimson light made Flax, with his flying hair, appear both evil and powerful.
Dago's right hand, a claw of ice, gathered an Ice Crystal Cannon in its palm, then he flung it.
"Bang!" A muffled explosion rang out, and the crimson hand was shattered into ice shards.
It transformed into countless ice crystal snowflakes, drifting in the air, and even Flax's eyes trembled slightly.
Then, his entire body glowed crimson, and the blood patterns on him constantly squirmed and changed.
The madness and the aura of Erzog emanating from his entire being became both insane and dangerous.
Dago's expression quickly turned grim, and he chose to avoid his sharp edge.
He rapidly retreated, swiftly flying towards the academy's airship.
The strong wind whipped Dago's long hair, and his stern face was filled with solemnity and worry.
At this moment, two of the four airships had already been shot down, and Dean Jodes had already flown out, entangled in combat with another Formal Wizard of the Dark Blood Council above the Town.
The blood wave had once again transformed into countless tentacles, attacking the Wizard Hall's protective shield, and the people inside had completely given up hope, waiting for death.
"The Wizard Hall... it's over."
Dago's voice was heavy.
He shook his head, his expression calming, and he looked up towards the academy's direction.
He hoped the academy still had some powerful weapons unused, otherwise, its fall would only be a matter of time.
Feeling the mental and energy fluctuations coming from behind him, Dago had intended to join forces with Dean Jodes to defeat Flax.
This idea had also fallen through, and he showed a pained and helpless expression.
His own strength was clearly no match for the transformed Flax, and he constantly pondered combat strategies.
If it were Flax's original strength, Dago would still be able to contend.
Now, after receiving the blessing of Blood Mother Esoch, his strength had advanced another minor level.
Soon, Flax's signature crimson scythe whistled through the air.
Dago, relying on his mental force field combined with Detection Art, narrowly dodged it.
The aura of their two Formal Wizards entered Dean Jodes's perception.
Dean Jodes's face showed an expression of surprise and uncertainty, looking at Dago's direction with some disbelief: "When did this Apprentice Wizard get promoted to Formal Wizard?!"
His eyes flickered intensely, and a few seconds later, he was entangled again with the other Formal Wizard in the distance.
The tip of Dago's Ice Crystal Magic Wand in his left hand flashed with intense ice energy fluctuations, and an ice core the size of a fist quickly formed.
He was releasing his second The Pinnacle of Art, 'Activated Ice Crystal Technique'.
Ice energy, with the core as its center, moved and grew under Dago's will, transforming into a giant Ice Crystal Raven.
Dago chose the image of his most familiar 'Gugu' to materialize it, as he had watched it grow up since he was young.
A deep blue, ink-like ice core was embedded in its heart, and Dago directly stepped onto the back of the Ice Crystal Raven.
The Ice Crystal Raven flapped its giant ice wings, turning a large amount of water vapor into falling snowflakes, dragging a white tail and carrying Dago further towards Dean Jodes.
However, in terms of speed, it was still a beat slower than Flax, who was relentlessly pursuing them from behind.
Gray circles swirled in Dago's eyes, and he controlled his mental force field to install two air-compressing mental force rings on the Ice Crystal Raven's ice wings.
Thus, the Ice Crystal Raven seemed to have two jet engines, rumbling and picking up another burst of speed.
This Air Bullet was truly mastered by Dago, and the scene turned into a cyberpunk wizardry style.
Dago looked at Flax, who had been left behind again, and a hint of relief appeared on his face.
The bloody energy overflowing from Flax's body twisted wildly like a living creature, and the Blood Leech Magic Seal also appeared above his head.
Dago quickly turned his head and shouted to Dean Jodes, who was rapidly approaching, "Old man, quickly cast a spell to hold down that Formal Wizard on your side, we'll work together to deal with him first."
Dean Jodes cast a Triple Confinement Magic Ring on the Formal Wizard he was entangled with, one ring after another encasing the Formal Wizard.
Suddenly, a violent energy particle fluctuation emanated from the tip of Dago's Ice Crystal Magic Wand, accompanied by faint, elusive mysterious auras.
Dean Jodes felt this mysterious aura, and it instantly dropped his jaw.
"What did I sense? It seems to be the aura of The Pinnacle of Art! Did I sense it wrong? Even I haven't cultivated a pinnacle spell."
Dean Jodes muttered to himself, somewhat incredulously.
Enveloped with a world-destroying momentum and energy, a fist-sized Flame Core Air Bullet, trailing endless light and heat, flew directly towards the Formal Wizard encased by the Triple Confinement Magic Ring.
"Boom!!!"
The Flame Core exploded like a small sun, forming a giant fireball hanging in the sky above the Town.
It struck the Formal Wizard of the Dark Blood Council, who was filled with terror and despair, completely turning him and the Triple Confinement Magic Ring into dust, vanishing from reality.
The spherical shockwave even paused the battlefield below for an instant, and a hint of clarity appeared in the eyes of the transformed Flax.
After unleashing this attack, Dago's expression was not good.
Although he tried his best to control the power of this Flame Core Air Bullet, his consumption was still considerable.
Even though he possessed a Spiritual Space incomparable to other Formal Wizards, the time he had been promoted to Formal Wizard was truly too short.
"Dean, old man, I need to recover now. You help me hold off that lunatic opposite for a bit."
Dago panted, speaking tiredly to Dean Jodes.
"Run, why aren't you running? So you went to find a scapegoat, huh! Hahahaha!"
Flax floated in mid-air some distance away from the two, the Blood Leech Magic Seal above his head, his expression frenzied and ferocious.
"You certainly gave me a surprise."
Dean Jodes said, looking grimly at Flax and Dago in front of him.
But then he still went forward without hesitation; even without Dago, he and Flax were bound to fight.
After all, they both represented the leaders of two opposing forces, king meeting king.
In an instant, the Blood Leech Magic Seal above Flax's head glowed brightly crimson, conjuring countless Blood Leeches in the air.
Flax's face was covered in crimson patterns, ferocious and terrifying, his mouth opened, emitting a sharp shriek, and the killing intent on him almost overflowed.
Countless Blood Leeches let out terrifying low whistles, tearing through the air, like a crimson curtain directly enveloping the two.
Dean Jodes at this moment could no longer worry about anything; he held up his fiery red magic wand, unleashing violent energy fluctuations.
A ring of fire was drawn in the air behind him, forming a Fire Ring Magic Seal, and in an instant, countless firebirds flew out from it, directly rushing towards the Blood Leech curtain.
The battle between the two officially began.
