Doomsday Code

Chapter 40 Defensive Magic Circle

At this time, Adolf happened to look towards Penbes, and then he saw that his eyes were staring straight at Chen Cheng, as if there was something on Chen Cheng that could stop all this.

But after thinking about it, it seemed that Chen Cheng had nothing that could deal with this crisis.

Adolf couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Old baldy, why are you looking at him? He's still a mess inside.

Even if he can use super-level magic, he can only hit once at most, and the magic he releases will not exceed the gold level. "

Adolf thought that Penbes wanted Chen Cheng, a variable who could use super-level magic, to fill in the vacancies between the two of them.

But could it be that this old guy has gone crazy and even forgot that Chen Cheng is still injured?

And even if he was not injured, the most he could do in this crisis was to rely on the super-level magic he could use to create some waves, and then he would still be beaten to death on the beach.

At this time, Huidun also looked at Chen Cheng, because he knew that Professor Peng Beis was not thinking about what Principal Adolf said.

He remembered what happened in the professor's laboratory before, and perhaps that was a breakthrough in this crisis.

As the lord of the entire territory, he thought again and again and the only possibility he could think of was the variable magic that Chen Cheng had shown them before.

At this time, Chen Cheng was being stared at by the three men in the room, and his heart was pounding.

At this moment, he also thought of what Professor Penbes wanted to say. If it weren't for the contract, perhaps the professor would have spoken long ago.

To be honest, he had thought of his own variable magic a long time ago, but others didn't know it, and he himself didn't know it yet.

Although his variable magic seemed to be a panacea, the latest iteration of this thing was only at the gold level, and it was not stable at all.

Due to the injuries in his body these days, the further iteration of this variable magic is only in his imagination, and he has not had the time to conduct experiments in the Sea of Magic.

In order to face this crisis, his variable magic cannot break down after just one use. It needs to be able to operate continuously for at least hundreds of times to be qualified.

Because only in this way can we defend Huidun City, so that Adolf and the others can free up their hands to find the alchemist.

However, looking at the eager eyes of the people in front of him, Chen Cheng finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Well... Principal, maybe I really do... but this is still a little..."

However, before he could finish his words, Penbes interrupted him directly:

"Don't rush to say these things, old man, this matter is of great importance. I want you to swear an oath with your heart and mind now.

Don’t tell anyone what Brown said or did next, or you will fall into the sea of obscurity forever, and your soul will be burned by the fire of embers day and night.

Penbes showed no courtesy to Adolf, his friend of half his life, and asked him to swear an oath first.

This was also a kind of protection for Chen Cheng as he was the initiator of this matter.

The oath that Penbes asked Adolf to swear was extremely cruel, and Penbes was the only one here who was as strong as him. Even if he wanted to be sneaky, Penbes would be able to discover it quickly.

At this time, Chen Cheng did not speak to stop him, because after studying and discussing with the professor for these days, he had a deep understanding of the magic world in this world.

This has nothing to do with trust or not. This can perhaps be said to be a kind of protection for Principal Adolf, because if Principal Adolf really accidentally tells this matter at some point, it would be a disaster for both him and himself.

Adolf was the head of a school and also a platinum-level wizard. He had traveled around the continent when he was young, so he naturally knew that some secrets could not be known to others.

Looking at the determined looks in Peng Beis's eyes, he knew that this matter was very important, at least to Chen Cheng.

Although Chen Cheng's identity in society was just a slave, because of his talent and his relationship with Melinda, Adolf did not look down on him. Instead, he was very interested in what methods he could come up with.

Adolf did not say anything else, but communicated with the most feared existence in his heart through his mind, and then made this cruel oath.

After taking the oath, Adolf felt that the thing he feared most was right in his heart. If he did something against his oath, then his oath would come true.

And then, just as the oath said, I will fall into the sea of darkness forever, and my soul will be burned by the endless fire day and night until I die.

And Penbes did not fool around. He took out an advanced magic item - the exploration crystal, and examined Adolf inside and out. He then found the oath mark on the center of Adolf's soul.

This also means that this is a poisonous oath that Adolf swore to the existence he feared the most. As long as he dared to break it, the oath would immediately come true, and Adolf would not be able to say what he knew because of fear.

Then his consciousness will fall into the sea of confusion, and his soul will be burned to death by the endless fire.

It can be said that Adolf was very sincere. His oath communicated the most fearful existence in his heart, so there would be no possibility of leaking anything.

After seeing Peng Beisi nod, Chen Cheng also showed a trace of apology on his face and said:

"I'm sorry, Headmaster. My method may be a little subversive to you, and asking you to swear an oath will benefit both you and us."

Adolf had just faced his inner fear and his face was still a little pale.

But he waved his hand and said:

"It's nothing. As long as we can deal with this crisis, the oath and everything else are irrelevant."

Chen Cheng took a deep breath, and then began to explain to Adolf in general why he could release super-level magic without dying.

And now there is not enough time for Adolf to understand all this, he just wants to tell Adolf the magic of his variable magic and how it subverts the conventional magic world's understanding of magic.

Penbes and Huidun on the side also proved it for Chen Cheng, because there was no time to demonstrate the variable magic to Adolf again.

What needs to be done now is to mobilize the mithril storage and magic crystal storage in Huidun City.

Use mithril to draw a long-distance combinable super-level magic in the academy, and then use the pure attributeless magic power in the magic crystal as a temporary source of energy supply to quickly drive the release of magic.

Of course, in order to truly outline this huge magic, not only the magical knowledge of Penbes and the others is needed, but also the instructors in the academy need to be mobilized to draw the lines of this super-level magic with mithril.

What Chen Cheng needs to do is to draw his own variable magic at the end, so that this magic can break the limitations of level and engraving material and truly take shape.

In the end, all he needs to do is stay in the academy and keep this variable magic from collapsing.

It can be said that this was a bold and risky move. If Chen Cheng made a mistake during maintenance, then even without the alchemists attacking, Huidun City would be blown to the sky by this huge and unsafe magic formation.

If it were in the past, Adolf and the others would definitely not agree to this plan, but now they can only bet that the alchemist is a good person or that Chen Cheng can keep the magic array running for more than three hours.

Of course, between the two, they still bet that Chen Cheng could hold on for three hours, because even if the city was bombed, there would still be people who survived.

But the alchemist left no one alive wherever he went.

However, before Adolf could go out to mobilize the whole school, Archon Tophis had already hurriedly run to the principal's office and knocked on the door.

Huidun stood up and opened the door, and then saw Tophis with a bitter face and sweat on his forehead crying:

"My Lord, something bad has happened. The messenger guard we just sent out has returned with Como's lieutenant.

Como's army was attacked by the Undead last night, and all 3,000 soldiers were wiped out. Only this adjutant and a few followers managed to break out. "

The demise of the Como Legion was a heavy blow to the young earl. It can be said that the military force in his territory was composed of the Como Legion and a small number of knights and guards under the nobles.

The army of Como still accounted for more than half of the total force.

This news meant that their resistance was reduced by half before they even saw the enemy.

Judging from the alchemist's methods, those dead soldiers were probably turned into undead legions by the alchemist.

But now that the Como Legion has perished, those nobles who actually had more knights and guards are now in their own territories.

It can be said that he now has no soldiers available except for the city defense force of less than a thousand people.

"Well, it seems that we don't have much time left. There are not enough soldiers to defend the city. It seems that we can only rely on your method, Brown.

At the same time, we must also contact Governor Modonik and ask him to send strong men to help... and be on guard against the crisis after Huidun City is breached."

Huidun said through gritted teeth.

Adolf and others who heard all this in the office also looked solemn. It seemed that now they could only bet that Chen Cheng could last for three hours.

At this moment, Chen Cheng was very nervous because he was not sure about this. However, when he thought of the scene of the alchemist commanding the undead army to destroy the entire Huidun City, Chen Cheng clenched his fists.

Adolf waved his hand, and a scroll flew down from the bookshelf in his office. He opened it and began to explain:

“This is a defensive magic array diagram that I found in the ruins of the old capital of the Thorn Flower Empire when I traveled across the continent thirty years ago.

I originally wanted to use it for the defense of the academy, but the level of the magic circle is too high. If I want to engrave it and use it, the amount of mithril-level carrier required is an astronomical figure."

"Now we need to disassemble this magic array immediately and quickly engrave it in the academy. Then use your variable magic as a connector to activate it and protect the entire Wisdom Shield City."

Adolf looked at Chen Cheng and said.

When he opened the scroll, they saw an extremely complex diagram of a magic circle. On the diagram, it was clearly marked that the defense of this magic circle was so strong that even epic magicians could not break through it.

And this magic circle is one of the outer defense magic circles of the Thorn Flower King’s capital back then.

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Cheng, because in order to actually activate this magic circle on the ordinary floor, Chen Cheng's variable magic would be needed.

After seeing it, Chen Cheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat. To be honest, this magic circle was too advanced and he couldn't understand many of the magic patterns in it.

And these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that he discovered that even if he could dismantle this magic circle.

However, to actually start it up and running not only does it require a huge amount of magic power, but the ordinary floors engraved with magic patterns will also explode in an instant because they cannot withstand the infusion of magic power.

Seeing more and more cold sweat on Chen Cheng's forehead, Adolf and his companions became increasingly worried. Finally, Huidun broke the silence first.

"Can Brown engrave this magic circle so that he can activate it?"

Chen Cheng swallowed his saliva and said:

“If it can be disassembled, it can be started.

However, at the moment of activation, the entire academy may explode instantly due to the powerful magic input, and the magic circle can last no more than half a quarter of an hour."

At this moment, the three of them really felt like they were on a roller coaster, up and down.

Just when the three thought they were doomed, Chen Cheng spoke again:

"But if we just want to defend the entire city, and we want it to last for a long time and be defensive, I think we can make a subtraction on this magic circle."

When Huidun heard this, he was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and immediately asked:

“So how do you do subtraction?”
