Mechanical Alchemist-Chapter 624 - 623: 2VS120000

Suddenly, two individuals clad in gold-patterned cloaks appeared inside the bunker, startling Gik and his companions.

The topic most discussed recently in the rebellion camp was "Dawn", and the photograph of the gold-patterned cloak had been indelibly etched in their minds like a brand.

Although many people had begun donning various cloaks to imitate Dawn, the moment these two appeared, their first reaction was that they had encountered the real deal. That domineering aura, that oppressive feeling, were exactly like in the photograph!

In contrast, the despair in the eyes of the seventh-tier mage was all that remained.

As he was confined spatially, he discovered an eerie power eroding his whole body that he couldn't resist. His vitality rapidly fading, any resistance was futile, and he died instantly on the spot.

Su Lun did not harvest the mage's soul but instead took out a black umbrella and collected the intact soul and body. Seventh-tier magic was no longer much beneficial to him, and he planned to try his "Soul-Body Transference" secret technique.

After doing all this, he then turned his gaze towards the young man with the mechanical arm.

Seeing that excited and expectant gaze, it was clear that Gik recognized him.

Su Lun, removing his cloak and revealing his face, said, "Gik, long time no see."

In the bunker, there were other rebellion companions of Gik who, seeing the mysterious and powerful figure from Dawn instantly kill the despair-inducing seventh-tier mage, first felt joy.

However, now hearing him actually call out Gik's name, they were immediately too shocked to speak.

Such a powerful figure from Dawn knew Gik?

Yet what was to shock them even more was about to happen.

Hearing this, Gik finally dared to speak, excitedly shouting, "Teacher!"

He had been afraid of recognizing the wrong person before and hadn't dared to speak up until now.

"Hmm."

Su Lun listened and smiled slightly.

He also looked at the girl beside Gik, and smiling, said, "Phoebe, long time no see."

The girl was Gik's girlfriend, Phoebe Shelley, who once was the elegant young lady from a noble family and now dressed like an adventurer, beautiful yet full of courageous determination. Compared to when he had last seen them at the Royal Academy in Lerian, both had lost their youthful naivety and had a few more traces of decisiveness between their brows.

Phoebe, hearing the powerful, mysterious man call her name, was visibly startled for a moment before recognizing him, and joyfully exclaimed, "Mr. Su Lun?"

Su Lun smiled slightly, "Hmm."

But now was not the time for extensive conversation. He turned to Gik again and introduced the person beside him, "This here is your senior, Mr. Jing."

Mr. Jing, hearing this, also removed his cloak, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that instantly mesmerized everyone in the bunker.

Gik hastily bowed respectfully and called out, "Senior."

Mr. Jing nodded with a light smile.

Since it clearly wasn't time for a long chat, Su Lun continued, "We'll handle the matters outside. You and your companions be careful; I'll come find you later."

Gik, feeling an inexplicable pride, nodded seriously, "Hmm!"

With that, even before his voice had faded, the two gold-patterned cloak figures had vanished from the bunker.

...

Watching them leave, only then did the feeling of restraint from facing top-tier experts dissipate.

Gik's companions, recovering from their stupor of having narrowly escaped disaster, immediately became incredibly excited and began to ask questions all at once.

All these people had been classmates at the Mafa Royal Academy in Ammunition Studies, united by shared ideas and joined the rebellion alliances.

They thought they already knew each other quite well, but it turned out there was such a hidden powerhouse among them!

"Ah! Gik, your teacher is a top-tier combatant from Dawn?! Good heavens, you've never mentioned this before."

"My teacher... my teacher is very low-key, he doesn't really like others knowing his identity. So, I just never mentioned it."

"It's really unbelievable. I was just dreaming last night, wishing that I could be fortunate enough to encounter a high-ranking officer from Dawn one day, maybe even become their disciple... and yet here you are, Gik, already at the endpoint of my dream!"

"Oh, he looks just like he does in the pictures! Hahaha, this is definitely a story I can brag about for a lifetime."

...

Everyone continued to chat excitedly.

For all the rebellion forces, Dawn represented their faith, and seeing two top-tier figures materialize before their eyes inspired an indescribable excitement.

Even Gik and Phoebe were incredibly excited.

Just then, a young man looking out of the watchpoint shouted, "Look quickly! Those two great experts are heading towards the Thousand Mage Regiment!"

Everyone then snapped back to reality.

They realized that now was not the time for optimism, for outside was an invincible Thousand Mage Regiment.

Although the newspapers had informed them about the prowess of "Dawn",

there were only two of them, yet the enemy numbered in the thousands.

This left them somewhat apprehensive.

Someone asked, "Jick, your teacher can definitely defeat those enemies, right?"

"This..."

Jick, listening, also filled with uncertainty, did not speak.

Having personally clashed with the ten-thousand mage battalion, he knew the terror of such a magic army.

The battalion's magic was also the strongest attack method he had ever seen, and he felt that it was definitely not something any individual's power could stop.

Even the top mechanical armor of Mafa wouldn't suffice!

However, before his worries could show on his face, in their field of vision, they saw his own teacher and master uncle charging towards the ten-thousand mage battalion.

There were only two of them, yet they seemed to have the strength of thousands, matching the five to six thousand without any deficit in momentum.

This momentum was inexplicably uplifting.

They went head-on?

Jick looked at the sky where a gigantic battalion magic array was already forming, frowning.

However, in the next instant, a miraculous scene occurred.

Spatial fluctuations blinked rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, towering creatures appeared out of nowhere, covering the sky and sun, in numbers reaching tens of thousands.

Once the puppet battalion was deployed, they smashed into the ten-thousand mage battalion like a torrential steel stream.

The previously outnumbered two in Gold-Patterned Cloaks not only overpowered the mage battalion in momentum but also outnumbered their enemies!

Seeing this, someone immediately exclaimed, "What are those winged monsters? Are they puppets? Oh, are my eyes seeing double? How can there be so many puppets?"

Jick, feeling his blood boiling, excitedly said, "Ah... Actually, my teacher is a very formidable puppet master!"

Phoebe, standing beside him, was so shocked she couldn't speak a word.

Although she knew Jick had a very formidable teacher, having seen him once, she had never imagined him to be so strong.

And that master uncle, she actually single-handedly took on a battalion magic attack?

Amidst the crowd's stupefied expressions at the fortress, the puppet army instantly breached the ten-thousand mage battalion's magic shield. And the two in Gold-Patterned Cloaks rushed into the mage positions.

The ten-thousand mage battalion, once considered invincible across the major cities of Mafa, now resembled a cracked eggshell, breaking apart instantly once breached.

Wherever the two in Gold-Patterned Cloaks went, mages fell like cut wheat.

Whether it was Mr. Jing or Su Lun, both had the power to directly confront a ten-thousand mage battalion.

Magic could not harm them; what remained was just a harvest.

"Quick look! Jick, your teacher actually blocked an eighth-tier magic with his bare hands!"

"Your master uncle even completely reflected all the attack magic? My goodness, even battalion magic has no effect on her! Is this what top professionals are like?!"

"It's truly unbelievable. I've never left Mafa since I was born and thought our mechanical magicians were the strongest. But traditional alchemists are so powerful! Even stronger than what the newspapers describe!"

"..."

The youths in the fortress could no longer contain their excitement, their eyes shimmering with emotion.

In this moment, they witnessed a legend and bore witness to a legendary battle.

...

For Su Lun and Mr. Jing, an average ten-thousand mage battalion posed almost no threat.

Su Lun's control over the puppet battalion had become more refined, and breaking through the ten-thousand mage battalion's formations seemed effortless.

Having an advantage in rank and adopting a menacing and aggressive strategy, they left the enemy no time to react and instantly killed the eighth-tier battalion leader.

What followed was an exhaustive reaping.

The ten-thousand mage battalion had obviously never encountered such adversaries and were instantly overwhelmed.

The puppet battalion swiftly broke through the defenses, and both the battalion leader and various division leaders were swiftly executed. Even if the remaining thousands still had combat power, they could hardly organize any effective defense.

Against a puppet battalion that even the ten-thousand mage battalion's magic shield couldn't stop, they tried to hold out in formations of five hundred or a thousand.

But what awaited them was only an overwhelming destruction.

Su Lun, controlling the puppet battalion, formed battle formations and rampaged through the mage battalion, swiftly annihilating its main force.

The few hundred remaining mages, seeing the turn of events, scattered and fled. Su Lun and Mr. Jing had no intention of pursuing them.

The mage battalion was broken; they posed no threat to Hebitsong Dock any longer, leaving the rest to the rebel alliance.

Having broken through this route of the ten-thousand mage battalion without any delay, they teleported again, arriving at another battlefield less than ten kilometers away.

This mage battalion was under fierce bombardment by a united fleet, enduring the ten-thousand mage battalion as it advanced under the cover of their magic shield.

Once the two arrived, the bombardment immediately ceased.

Su Lun repeated the tactic, first having the puppet battalion instantly breach the defenses, then he and Mr. Jing charged in to decapitate the enemy's higher ranks.

The seventh and eighth-tier commanders were killed instantly, and the magic battle formation broke immediately.

The twelve magic guilds on the deific plane, though not united, actually employed very prudent tactical assaults.

Each guild was just a few kilometers away from the others.

For a guild, it didn't take much time to reinforce one another.

Under normal conditions, even a force of the ninth rank faced these ten-thousand-member guilds with enough confidence to withstand them head-on. Should any guild encounter enemies, within a short time they could at least receive reinforcements from several nearby guilds.

Even if the enemy was tough, once they were tied up, reinforcements continued to arrive endlessly.

This would eventually lead to a situation where twelve guilds surrounded one.

However, the current situation was something they had never anticipated.

Mr. Jing and Su Lun broke through the ten thousand-member guild far too swiftly!

So swiftly that before the other guilds could even mobilize, the team had already been wiped out.

This second guild was originally meant to provide reinforcements, but they had not expected that just as they faced the barrage and hadn't gone far, the enemy already charged at them.

Before the majority of the mages could react to what was happening, their formation had been broken.

Then it was a one-sided massacre.

The two could fight, withstand, and teleport... They were like a flexible dagger.

The mages of the deific plane nearly had no way to deal with such opponents.

No matter the type of magic, forbidden spells, powerful magic devices... Or even some malicious Curse Magic or soul attacks, nothing was effective.

Mr. Jing could use the Mirror Domain to reflect any magical attacks, while Su Lun was an almost invincible Puppet Master without any real weaknesses. Without actual ninth-rank Sages of Law, it was nearly impossible to contend against them.

...

In the face of the enemy, Mr. Jing and Su Lun showed no mercy.

They shattered the second ten-thousand-member guild and teleported immediately to the third.

With real-time intelligence support from the imperial military through their communicators, they also learned that among these twelve ten-thousand-member guilds, "suspected" to have ninth-rank Sages of Law within two of them.

The two deliberately avoided these two guilds first, choosing instead to attack the others that were easier to handle.

If they could first eliminate these other ten-thousand-member guilds, the subsequent major battle would be easier to fight.

While Mr. Jing and Su Lun were attacking the ten-thousand-member guilds, the joint imperial military also closely monitored the battle.

For this battle, too, the Empire held high hopes.

They aimed to rebuild the Alchemy plane, and restore everyone's confidence in warfare at the Mafa frontline.

The strength of the Dawn Organization was the Empire's top-secret, although everyone had seen from the newspapers that the Dawn members were strong. But how strong they were, and what skills they possessed, almost no one knew.

Right from the first moment the battle commenced, within the transferring fleet, secret experts from the imperial military stared nervously at their communicators, waiting for the battle report.

The enemy consisted of twelve ten-thousand-member guilds, including two which likely housed ninth-rank beings.

This military strength, in the minds of ordinary people, was even stronger than the previous siege at Ruelington Cleyton that involved three Sages of Law.

But only the combined fleet's commanders, 'Thunder Tiger' Meredith Ben Moses and General Rostov, were not overly anxious but instead held a vague confidence in their hearts.

Because only they had witnessed Su Lun's formidable capabilities firsthand.

Initially, it was just one person, with a group of puppets, who had broken through several ten-thousand-member guilds.

These twelve would likewise be no exception.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the communicators buzzed with intelligence personnel excitedly reporting the situation: "The first target guild has been breached by Dawn! The rebel forces have already gone to intercept the fleeing mages, about seven to eight hundred enemies..."

As this news came, cheers erupted throughout the fleet.

The battle was going smoothly, relaxing everyone who had been on edge.

But just as the excitement remained, those unfamiliar with Dawn among the military personnel wondered: How could it be so fast?

Annihilating a ten-thousand-member guild was a major battle, and according to normal experience, army against army, combat took hours to even begin.

If it were a positional battle, fighting for three to five days was normal.

But how long had it been?

A few minutes?

The commander, thinking there was some mistake in the report, asked tensely, "What's going on, the battle ended so quickly?"

Through the communicator, an intelligence officer, now so excited his voice shook, stuttered in response, "The elites from Dawn are just too strong, they... the two of them directly breached through the ten-thousand-member guild... so many puppets, they instantly broke the guild's magical formation!"

What?

What puppets?

Two people?

Hearing this, military personnel on the ship were dumbfounded, their inquiries leading to more confusion.

He even started to doubt his own ears.

It had seemed outrageous before,

but now that they heard it, it seemed even more ludicrous.

Only two people had charged into a group of ten thousand mages?

Their main task this time was to cover the migration, then guard Hebitsong Dock, and finally serve as backup forces for emergencies.

However, the main assault force was Dawn.

Although they found this plan a bit odd, as professional soldiers, following the high command of the empire was the primary rule, and they didn't ask too many questions.

Nonetheless, they hadn't expected that Dawn's main assault would consist of just two people?

The ten-thousand magician group at the dock didn't go either?

However, before everyone could wonder too much, not long after the first combat report sounded, another piece of good news transmitted through the communicator channel.

"The 7th target group of mages has been breached!"

"The 9th target group of mages has been breached!"

"The 11th target has been breached, Dawn is moving to the 12th target..."

"..."

A series of combat reports came one after another, and only at this moment did the officers at the command post dare to believe that it seemed true.

But they could hardly believe it, fearing it was all a dream.

Even 'Lei Tiger' Meredith Ben Moses and General Rostov were left speechless by this series of rapid victories.

Although they knew Su Lun was very strong, and they had guessed that Dawn's leader, Mr. Jing, was extremely powerful, watching these continuous victories, they still thought... it was too inconceivable.

Could two people really be that powerful?

But after verification, this was the reality.

Su Lun and his companion swept through, successively breaching five groups of ten thousand mages.

The war correspondents also used the most concise language to report the battle situation back to Ru Ying, thousands of miles away.

But suddenly, the message came again: "Bad news, Dawn's top fighters have encountered two ninth-tire Sages of Law sniping at them, and both parties have already started a fierce battle!"

As soon as this news came back, everyone's hearts immediately rose to their throats.

Because even without seeing it, from the monstrous shockwaves of a ninth-tier professional's fight alone, they could already clearly feel it.

...

Contrary to the tense atmosphere at the headquarters, on another front, the parties involved in the battle, Su Lun and Mr. Jing, were not the least bit panicked.

Because it was all within their expectations, and as they charged along, there were no surprises.

Even when they encountered two proactive Sages of Law, they fought as they should, fully composed.

After all, before the battle, they had observed the interdimensional gateways and calculated that the most these enemies would send in these few weeks were two ninth-tiers.

Moreover, after attacking several mage groups, Su Lun was already very familiar with the capabilities of both Sages of Law.

One 'Arcane King' Kost Vaughn and 'Snakebelly Witch' Jacqueline Cooper, neither had any particularly tricky abilities—they were both typical elemental Sages of Law.

With a thorough understanding of the enemy's capabilities, the threat had already halved.

Having destroyed five ten-thousand mage groups, now that the ninth-tiers had arrived, it simply meant the major battle had come early.

Using the same tactics, Mr. Jing created two mirror duplicates, singlehandedly pinning down both Sages of Law.

Su Lun then went on to take down several other ten-thousand mage groups.

It can be said that from the beginning of the fight, the outcome was already determined.

The enemy couldn't possibly deal with both of them, and it was just a matter of time before they settled the victory.

Even though the remaining few magic towers of the enemy formed a supergroup in desperation, with a ninth-tire at its core,

for Su Lun and Mr. Jing, it didn't make much difference to the outcome.

Mr. Jing's confidence came from absolute power.

As time passed, his symbiosis with ancestral blood had become very perfect; compared to the battle in Lington half a month ago, his strength had increased significantly.

If before he couldn't be defeated by three Sages of Law, now facing two would naturally be a breeze.

And Su Lun himself had fought against ten-thousand mage groups many times before.

If he could slaughter at level seven, there was no reason level eight would pose much difficulty now.

This epic battle was being staged on the outskirts of Hebitsong City; the battle of ninth-tiers was earth-shattering.

Under the witness of tens of millions, Dawn displayed again the top-tier combat capabilities of the alchemy dimension and also showed the world that the enemies were not unbeatable!
