Circle of 46 Array
In the forest outside the village, a wave of chanting voices rose and fell, startling some flying birds from time to time.
Five red-robed mages formed a circle with a radius of ten feet, the tattoos on their foreheads emitting intense brilliance. The brilliance condensed into five thin lines, converging at the center of the circle, where one of the red-robed mages' forehead tattoos glowed brightly. It seemed as if wave after wave of arcane power flowed from the light into the tattoo, and then from the tattoo into the mage's body, gathering to form an even greater magical force.
This is the signature skill of the Red Robe Society, the famous circular spell formation in the Ferren magical world.
Although the Letheman witches also inherited this technique from their ancestors, the witches who studied divine magic at the same time were obviously inferior to their southern neighbors in the depth of this art.
In Ser, a Red Robed Master who can preside over the Circle must be above the fifth circle and have conducted in-depth research to dominate a formation. Such masters will be granted the title of 'Circle Guide', similar to the title of professor at a university. Pan Ni's mentor, Zhan Hua Shi, was one such example.
Now, the master of the law array is guiding a scroll. In an instant, the scroll turns to ashes, and the sky darkens with a loud rumbling sound coming from afar. Outside the circle, a large amount of light flickers, as if it has turned into chaos.
As if out of thin air, a snowstorm materialized like a snowy mountain, sweeping forward like a white torrent towards the small village not far away where an intense battle was raging. The ground shook violently, as if a snowslide had occurred on flat land!
In fact, this is an avalanche. The moving snow wall hit the trees and houses, leaving only a vast expanse of white snow in the end.
In the thick fog, Letheman's witch attempted to counter this spell and even threw out a large number of counter-magic spells. However, facing the massive magical power summoned by the circular magic array, the witch who was hastily responding to the battle was obviously powerless and soon rushed into the vast snow waves.
Endless and boundless, majestic as a long river, this is the mighty power of magic.
The five auxiliary ring formations' red-robed foreheads were hot and smoking, and at the moment when the scrolls were burned out, they collectively spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and leaned against the ground beside them, dry heaving nonstop.
The technique of reinforcing the launch of high-level magic scrolls with a circular formation array was only developed by the Red Robe Mages in recent years. The defect is huge, and the guidance of the spell through a layer of dead objects makes the energy consumption of the array setter extremely serious. However, seeing the successful guidance of the magic array, the powerful magical force storm guides out a dazzling disaster effect, and a group of Red Robe Mages all have a cruel sense of pleasure in their hearts.
"That's good, this should give that group of witches a headache. Mu Shengti will also have more reaction time. Now get up, you bunch of trash, the witches will be coming soon and we're no match for them."
Several red-robed figures suddenly sprang up, only to realize that they had relied on the circular formation and a precious high-level magic scroll to launch a sneak attack, achieving such a shocking effect. Although this spell was powerful, it didn't necessarily mean that the witch's life was in danger. After a while, the group of witches flew over, and unfortunately, it was them who were in trouble.
The host of the law array, the ring guide, has an ability to cast spells that is only around 5 or 6 rings - this can be seen from the style of his long robe, the red collar and cuffs have white lace, if it were blue lace, then he would be a high-ranking ring guide who has delved into the seventh ring of the magic net, which is a completely different concept.
Such a ringmaster, the ability to cast spells may not be better than an Osslow-grade witch with a lower ranking. Moreover, these Letheman witches also studied divine magic - this is one of the characteristics of the Witch's Association, which makes their actual combat capabilities stronger. Three Osslows plus one elder can deal with six red robes, and the outcome is not yet certain, but the time spent will definitely be less. The mission of the red robes coming here is to launch a surprise attack, not to engage in a fierce battle.
"Moda, you said you have a way to track down that foreign wizard?" Several red robes were using flight magic to retreat from the scene. The leader, Master Ring, asked an assistant beside him. Upon closer inspection of the assistant's face, it could be seen that he was one of the two red-robed men who had escaped after the sneak attack on the lake shore a few days ago. He nodded when he heard Master Ring's question and said:
"Yes, I scattered some Morpheus' poisonous powder on the ground when I retreated. This stuff will definitely stick to them. As long as they are within a two-mile range, my magic pet can identify that guy's location."
A gruesome dog head poked out of his sleeve, let out a 'woof' and howled. It was a small hellhound, its nose spewing thick smoke as it sniffed the air nonstop, as if constantly capturing scents in the air.
If specially trained, this terrifying creature can track down any target that has been scented or carries a special marker within a certain range.
"Alright, Moda, you said that foreign monk recognized the Silent Executioner?"
"Not bad, he was quite alert at that time, I was on the periphery and could see very clearly with 'Pengyue Angel's Eye'."
"This medicine has only been in use for two years, and it's only been included in textbooks for half a year. He can actually recognize it, most likely he's a spy from another school. Our actions here must not be known to anyone from other schools. Even if it's not the case, we'd rather kill the wrong person than let him go. This wizard must die." Master Ring said in an unquestionable tone: "Everyone, fly low and circle around the forest, Morda. Pursue him with all your might. If he's still with the witch, don't take action for now, just track him down and wait for an opportunity. If he's alone, kill him immediately!"
"Yes!" The red-robed mage, Moda, responded to the order. His eyes released a fierce and sinister glow. If it weren't for his good luck that day, resisting the dispel magic, he would have been reduced to a pulp by now.
He had never been so close to death before, and it was impossible for him to have no hatred towards Penny, so after that day, he thought of revenge every moment.
Now he has full confidence in it.
That caster is at most a third-rate mage, and a fourth-level fire wall spell is nothing but a scroll. What threat can it pose to a Ringmaster and five genuine Red Robes?
What's more, this time they came to ambush the high-ranking witch, and there were quite a few goods on their bodies. More importantly, they won't be as careless as last time.
Lowering his head and taking a glance, he flew at low altitude, only tens of feet away from the ground... This distance was absolutely not fatal...
The red-robed figure's mouth curled up into a cruel smile, silently deciding that once he caught the little brat, he would definitely persuade his mentor to throw him off from several hundred feet high...

Inside the Abyss
In a dimly lit basement, mice were enthusiastically studying the large transmission gate, carefully comparing the spatial coordinates and transmission runes.
The cunning demon next to him was still boasting:
"Oh, my master, you are so wise and powerful, you must understand the usage of this transmission array, right? With your strength, you will surely be invincible in the multiverse! Master, let's go challenge the deep-level demon lord, you will definitely emerge victorious."
The cunning demon kept providing brainless advice, in his mind, if Silver Mouse challenged someone like Di Mo Gao Gen and got killed, he would be free again, as for what happened afterwards, he didn't think much about it.
However, the Silver-haired Mouse's IQ was not entirely undeserving of its cunning reputation, as it swiped its paws across the incantation on the ground a few times, and the center of the transmission gate immediately turned into a chaotic void - a spatial rift had opened.
The mouse's pupils stared at the transmission gate, reflecting a vast and dim expanse - space-time rifts were like that, it was hard to know where they would send intruders if you didn't enter them. Even though the spatial coordinates positioning work had been done sufficiently, it still wasn't very confident - after all, it was the first time, so some experimental verification of safety was needed.
With this idea in mind, the mouse glanced at the cunning devil, and Adi was chattering away when he suddenly found that his limbs were not listening to him, and he involuntarily walked towards the transmission gate. He immediately understood what the mouse wanted to do, and with his still movable mouth, he shouted loudly: "Master, master, don't! Don't! Lakras is so loyal and brave, how can you treat Lakras like this?!"
The mouse wouldn't naturally believe the words of a wicked servant who goaded it into challenging the demon lord, and in its view, having such a servant test the reliability of the transmission gate was far more suitable than making noise to disturb him here. As for the thoughts of the loyal servants, they were not within its consideration.
Just as it never occurred to Penny.
"Master! Master! You're going to do an experiment, those toys outside are more suitable for you than me, don't treat the great Lakras like this, please, evil master, no, I didn't mean that, waaaahhhh!" Adi struggled against his master's will with a twisted and ugly gait while howling in despair.
Addie was howling, when he suddenly found that the power controlling him involuntarily disappeared. He turned his head and saw a silver light rushing up the stairs, probably taking his advice to find the ferocious beast.
The cunning devil collapsed to the ground, panting heavily and tears streaming down his face as he spoke illogically: "Wooooo... Cruel abyss, great Lakras will never believe in love again... Wooooo..."
