Chapter 474: Expanding Wall - Part 2 (5k)
If one were to look down from high above, one could see a towering solid wall that, using the Southern Seven Islands as nodes, divided the entire Sea Domain in half!
But Colin's attention was not on this, but above... Above the Solid Wall, that terrifying figure that made one shudder.
Countless red-gold streams of light surged...
That master of gold and molten rock had actually torn a giant crack into the magnificent Solid Wall!
He was only the size of an ordinary human, and at this moment, high in the sky, he appeared as a mere speck in Colin's eyes.
However, his divine power was infinite, transforming into chaotic red-gold streams that brutally ripped a vast black crevice through the towering golden Solid Wall!
Colin gazed at this scene, at the chaotic red-gold streams, feeling inexplicably stunned.
"It seems that the collapse of the Transmission Gate was also due to the attack from the master of gold and molten rock." Mill did not notice Colin's unusual state, and could only wryly smile as she looked around.
Perhaps due to the master of gold and molten rock's attack, the Protective Shield that had enveloped the square above had dissipated.
No... It had just significantly shrunken, Mill observed the translucent shield that had just covered the entire Solid Wall Witch Array, shaking her head softly.
That translucent Protective Shield now barely surfaced a shallow layer on top of the Solid Wall Witch Array; some less important corners weren't even fully covered.
Clearly, the shield could no longer protect them.
Still, the Protective Shield's existence meant that the Solid Wall Witch Array seemed to have not suffered too much damage.
But... Nearly all the wizards involved in the Expanding Wall plan had died, leaving only two or three still showing signs of life, but they too were rapidly losing their breaths.
Mill instinctively cast a spell to rescue them, but soon, looking at the casualty gradually improving, she sighed again, feeling a surge of inexplicable powerlessness.
Ignoring those who had been saved, whose eyes still held bewilderment, the wizards...
Mill seemed to have realized something suddenly relaxing.
Standing next to Colin, she looked back at the huge golden Solid Wall, speaking to herself:
"At this moment, we're outside the Solid Wall, with no hope of returning... But at least we've barely completed the Solid Wall project."
She looked up at the sky, forcing a smile on her face.
Above, although the master of gold and molten rock had torn a black crack in the Solid Wall, that enormous black crevice was now visibly closing at a speed detectable to the naked eye.
Despite the gap's size, at this rate, it would completely disappear in less than a minute.
The Solid Wall in front would become intact once more.
Worthy of a Solid Wall that had to be established with the sacrifice of the World Origin... Standing in Golden Square, Mill felt emotional.
It was precisely for this reason that she never imagined crossing this tough barrier, so she gave up struggling right away.
The Divine Believers and even commoners gathered around the square, seemingly had all perished from the seizure by the master of gold and molten rock.
At this moment, the entire Renlai Square was extremely quiet.
Mill lifted her head to gaze at the crack that had opened on the Solid Wall above... In fact, she had considered taking advantage of the moment to try passing through the crack back to the Sea Domain of the witches.
However, the red-gold streams that filled the entire gap mercilessly dispelled such thoughts.
The gap might have appeared a weak point, but for them, it was nothing more than another dead end.
"Have the two lords... not managed to escape either?"
Cavendish murmured, he was one of the only two survivors at the moment, who had nearly died as well but had been brought back to life by Mill's treatment.
Actually, Mill had treated three wizards in total, two male and one female, but now only Cavendish and another round-faced, brown-haired witch remained.
That other surviving male wizard, upon regaining consciousness and seeing the towering Solid Wall, ultimately gave Mill a deep bow but chose to end his own life.
Mill did not stop him.
Outside this divine-ruled Solid Wall, their deaths as wizards were inevitable.
"The Transmission Gate was affected by the attack of the master of gold and molten rock and ultimately shattered. Not being caught in the spatial turbulence and being able to return to Renlai Square is already our good fortune."
Listening to Cavendish's murmurs, Mill softly replied.
Bang.
At that moment, a subtle sound suddenly emanated from the Solid Wall behind them.
Mill instinctively turned around, her gaze piercing through the thick transparent golden Solid Wall, and in the sky on the other side of the Wall, she saw a small but familiar silhouette—Ryden.
Ryden looked even more disheveled than when he entered the Transmission Gate. He was now carefully examining them from behind the golden Solid Wall.
Upon seeing that both Mill and Colin were still alive, he slightly relaxed.
As long as one is alive, there is still hope!
Mill understood his expression but could only offer a bitter smile.
Ryden could remain optimistic simply because he did not know what this Solid Wall truly meant...
Sure enough, Ryden's expression quickly turned into panic, as if he had realized their current predicament... No, that wasn't right!
Mill's heart skipped a beat as she abruptly looked up at the sky.
Whoosh!
The master of gold and molten rock suddenly moved, seemingly aware that remaining stuck on the Solid Wall was futile; he withdrew from the Wall.
In an instant, the golden Solid Wall closed up, forming a continuous, unified Solid Wall!
