Chapter Twelve: New Magic

"Are the people outside from the Brickell family? They came just in time?"
Seven Nights looked towards the direction of the main gate. It was just known that the scroll being escorted was something that had not been studied yet, and enemies came to invade before there was a chance to look into it, which was really coincidental.
"Go outside and see who among the guards in the courtyard has ever left. Immediately give me a clear and accurate report!"
Slam understood the meaning of Qiyue's words and his face turned pale with anger. He angrily ordered his subordinates.
In the hall, although everyone was anxious, no one spoke. They quietly waited for Slam to give orders. Because they were at the Karina Ancient family in Iron Bay City, and Slam was the highest decision maker of the Karina Ancient family, they were all waiting for Slam's actions. But when they heard Slam's words, they couldn't help but tremble, because the meaning of Slam's words meant...
"Just now, the captain of the Third Guard's squad, Ilomar, left for a while and hasn't returned yet."
Soon, when everyone was still guessing whether there was a traitor in the Kalinagu family, the Dwarf in the Iron Cap returned to the hall and reported to Sram.
"The target of the execution order is Ilo Mar, and his guarantor will also be included in the execution order. You must see his corpse within three days, otherwise it will be on you."
Slam solemnly took out an iron plaque from his pocket and threw it to the returning Ironcap Dwarf.
"Yes, Master."
The iron-capped dwarfs hurriedly knelt down to pick up the iron plate and then left the front hall.
"I'm sorry to all of you. I didn't expect the guards at home to be bribed by the Brickel family. This is a shame for my Karina Gu family, and this shame will surely be washed away with blood!" Slarm's face sank, and he firmly continued, "You can rest assured that you are absolutely safe here, and anyone who betrays the Karina Gu family will only have a dead end."
"Please have a seat, everyone. A mere few hundred soldiers from the battle legion trying to invade our Kallinagu family is still too few."
Seeing everyone still standing in the hall, Slas' cold face showed a smile as he beckoned everyone to sit down. He wanted to let outsiders know just how powerful the Kallinagu family is.
"Is the legion outside commanded by battle dwarves, Lord Slam?"
Sitting on the chair for a while, Mork became nervous hearing the sound of battle outside and couldn't help but ask Slam.
"Not bad, it is indeed the legion formed by the battle dwarves. The Brickell family has spent a lot of money to win over the battle dwarf tribe and has formed several battle legions." Slarm told Mok, "But our Kalinagu family is not easy to deal with. Although there are not many people here, there are numerous traps. Even if there are hundreds of people, or even thousands, I can make sure they won't come back."
"Should we inform our legion in the city, Uncle Dahuo?"
Baolufu suggested to Siliam. Being a powerful family with significant influence in the weapons export hub of Metro Bay City, it was only natural for them to have a private legion guarding their interests. However, the Kalinagu family's legion was not the city's garrison legion and had always been stationed outside the city. Baolufu's suggestion at this moment was to let the Sanye and the others know about the true strength of his family, which could definitely handle the strength of the Brickell family.
"You go and tell them to come over right away. If the city guards try to stop them, tell them to just charge in without paying attention. After the siege is lifted, I will definitely not let the Bricker family off easily!"
Slam tightly held the armrest of the wooden chair and instructed Paul off to the side.
"Alright, I'll go right away."
Paul turned around and gave a vigorous nod to Seven Nights and the others, assuring them, then quickly ran out of the lobby.
"Is there anything we need to do?"
Looking at the guards of the Kari Nagu family busy defending against the attack from the Brikkel family outside the hall, Qiyue felt a bit guilty because although the Kari Nagu family took over the situation, it was ultimately caused by oneself and others. Sitting here and watching the Kari Nagu family being attacked by the Brikkel family's military alliance without doing anything really made him restless in his heart.
“不必你们在这里看着便就行了。”
斯拉姆有些不太高兴虽说七夜是一番好意但是听在他的耳朵里就像是怀疑卡里那古家的实力一般。
The battle scene in the Karina ancient house is becoming increasingly fierce. Guards are constantly coming and going in the front yard. One by one, they are leaving with injuries, and none of them have returned.
At this moment, Slamm began to feel uneasy because he heard the sounds of battle not only did not disappear but became closer and closer to the front hall. And the only possible outcome of this would be...
"Master, we can't hold them back! Please go ahead!"
A dwarf wearing an iron helmet ran into the foyer with a blood-stained iron hammer in hand and urgently said to Slamm, who was sitting in the middle.
"Can't all of you along with the mechanisms in the courtyard stop a few hundred soldiers from the Bricl family?"
Hearing this, Slamm became furious. Just moments ago, he had reassured Seven Nights and the others that it wasn't a big deal. But now, hearing his subordinates say they couldn't stop them was like him slapping himself in the face, losing all dignity.
"It's not a problem to deal with the hundreds of warriors, but the Bricker family also sent over twenty magic-powered machines that we can't stop. Our machinery has no effect on those magic-powered machines at all, we can't even slow them down. We won't be able to hold them off much longer, they will soon break through. Master, please leave first!"
The Ironhat Dwarf bowed his head and informed Slarm of the current situation.
"Lord Slarm, I have witnessed the power of that magical contraption. It not only boasts high defense but is impervious to regular magic and combat techniques. It would be better for us to temporarily retreat and wait until Baluf leads the army from the Karinagu family before seeking revenge against the Brickell family."
Slam's face turned pale and he did not speak for a long time before speaking to console Seven Nights.
"Notify everyone to retreat immediately."
Hearing Seven Nights' words, Slam calmly analyzed the current situation and decided to temporarily retreat. As the decision-maker of the Kalinago family, he was not a reckless person. Just now, he couldn't let go of his face, but Seven Nights had already found a way for him to step down, so he naturally followed suit. It is not wise to insist on staying here until the Brickell family attacks.
'Bang!' Just as Slam said to retreat, the front gate of the courtyard was smashed open and a magic-powered mech appeared before everyone in the foyer. Following closely behind the mech was a dwarf, holding a pointed hammer and clad in iron armor. These dwarves were different from the ones Seven Nights had encountered before. Although they were shorter than typical dwarves, their eyes were blood-red, their black beards unkempt, and their fierce expressions hinted at their warrior nature. They brandished their pointed hammers, clearly indicating that they were battle-loving dwarves, the most combative kind among their race.
"Master, you need to leave quickly!"
When the members of the Brickell family appeared in the front yard, the Ironcap Dwarves understood immediately that all the guards outside had been killed. They hurriedly called for the remaining guards outside the hall to move forward, while also reminding Slamm to leave quickly.
"Sir Slarm, you go first. We will hold off this iron armor. We apologize for causing trouble for you."
Seeing that Sir Slarm remained silent, Mok knew that he couldn't let go of his pride. The decision-makers of the Macari Ancient Family in Iron Bay unexpectedly planned to escape in front of outsiders. How would Sir Slarm, who had always been in charge in Iron Bay City, face everyone in the future?
Hearing what Mok said, the four members of the Frost Mercenary Corps picked up their weapons and prepared to join the battle.
"You guys go, leave this to me and Light," Seven Nights stopped the Frost Mercenary Corps.
Seven Nights stopped the crowd of Frost Mercenaries.
"Last time was just a rush, but this time we can definitely defeat them."
"Togara was stopped by Qiye and said unwillingly.
"Captain, you take them away. We will be fine here with Wright. We will meet outside later."
Seiye walked quietly to Moke's side and whispered.
"Then be careful."
Moke nodded, looking worried. He knew that he and the others were no match for this kind of magic-powered machine. Last time, Seiye used magic by creating a resonance effect, and he and Doseol had been trying to learn this move for the past few days, but they still haven't succeeded.
"Lord Slamm, please!"
Mok greeted everyone and walked towards the back door of the main hall with Slamm.
"Can you break through this type of iron armor, Leit?"
Seeing the approaching mechanized nightfall, Sevyn asked Leit beside him.
“What do these few broken iron armors think they are? I'll show them their mistake soon.” Leit sneered at those huge magic-powered machines and placed the small thunderbeast on his shoulder: "Armor merge!"
Thunder Beast Xiao Lei released a sharp lightning from above Light's head, and in an intense flash, it transformed into a pale white armor that tightly connected with Light's body, forming a complete and powerful Thunder Beast-like all-armored form.
During the fusion of the Wright, Shichiya once again used the "Explosion Bomb". Although this move seems simple, it requires simultaneous detonation near an active magical machine to generate a powerful resonance force, in order to break through the thick iron armor of the magical machine and injure the person inside. This is not something that an ordinary magician can achieve.
When the explosive bomb flew accurately and directly between the three magical machines, just as Yorunozuku was about to detonate it, the explosive bomb suddenly disappeared into thin air, leaving only the iron arm of the magical machine frozen in midair.
"How could this happen?!"
Shichiya shook his head in disbelief and threw out another exploding bomb. This time, he was able to release ten in a row. It was the maximum limit of his micro-control magic, as he had to divide his mental power for each additional bomb. Only a high-level sorcerer, such as a grand mage, can control five exploding bombs.
However, the explosion bullet did not achieve what Qiyee wanted, it just turned into subtle magical elements in the air in an instant.
"It's up to you, Light!"
Qiyee looked at the seven magical mechanical devices that were rushing over from behind, shrugged helplessly, and understood that his magic no longer had any effect on these magical mechanical devices.
"The boss won't hand everything over to me, right?"
"After merging with the armor, Laito looked worriedly at the six mechanical magic machines that caught up behind."
"No problem, I count them, there are only twenty-one of these iron guys. If you can handle three at a time, you only need seven rounds to finish them. If you can handle seven at a time, then three rounds will do!"
"Boss"
Sixth Brother!"
Seven Nights, who had already sat back in the hall, picked up the tea cup.
"You are just as terrifying as before!"
Lite yelled and rushed out, mustering up courage.
"Is that so..." Seven Nights put down the tea cup and propped up his chin, thinking for a moment. "So it turns out that in their eyes, I was terrifying. I thought they admired me and that's why they respected me so much..."
"Thunder roars and lightning flashes!"
After combining his armor, Leith wields his self-created unique skill with the Vajra staff against the magical machinery.
Purple and azure lightning surges on Leith's body and becomes even more active on the Vajra staff. Leith's staff moves in a complex pattern, and before long, a thunderous net appears in front of the Karinagu family's front yard, capturing all the magical machinery within.
"The boss is determined!"
"Seeing the magical machinery being trapped by the lightning net, Wright took a breath and used this powerful martial magic that can rival the great mage, which is not easy."
"It's still early."
Qiyue shook his head slowly, knowing that magic was useless against these dynamagical machines.
"Boss, look at them..."
Right as Leite was about to retort, he suddenly saw the twenty-one dynamagical machines trapped in the lightning net all raise their right arms, and the magical crystals embedded on their arms started to emit a dazzling light. In the blink of an eye, the lightning net disappeared without a trace.
"Bastard! Watch this move!"
Seeing his ultimate skill easily broken through, Lei te became infuriated and pounced forward, lifting his King Kong staff to confront the magical mechanoid head-on.
"No wonder it seems that the raging thunder magic won't work, but what did that Slarm say earlier..."
Seeing the glow of the magic crystals on the magic machine breaking through Laito's lightning net, Shichiya lowered his head and began to think, muttering to himself.
"Got it!" Suddenly, Shichiya had a bright idea and stood up, saying, "If the concentrated magic didn't work, then how about the dispersed magic?"
"Hold on, Wright!"
"Boss, hurry up!"
Hearing Seven Nights' words, Wright reluctantly continues to endure the 'affection' of the magic machinery. As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. If Wright were to encounter two or three of these magic machinery, there wouldn't be much of a problem. But here, there are a total of twenty-one magic machinery attacking him from different directions. It seems like Wright can't block no matter how hard he tries. Fortunately, he is originally an orc with strong resistance to hits, and at this moment, he is also wearing the Thunder Beast Armor, so the iron fists of those magic machinery only cause him excruciating pain without injuring his bones.
As Wright desperately resisted, Seven Nights closed his eyes and began to enter meditation.
Slowly, Seven Nights felt the subtle elements of magical energy around him, a power that existed everywhere in the world, contained within every object.
The magical elements gradually entwine around Qiyue like vines, causing a faint glow to emit from her body, and then converging into a dim light sphere resting on the palm of her right hand.
"Ah!"
But at this moment, sweat poured down Qiyue's forehead and his face turned pale. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Meanwhile, in the midst of the battle, Lait saw Qiyue in this state and was momentarily stunned. Suddenly, he was struck by four magic mechanical devices simultaneously. The immense force of the iron fists of these devices, when combined, was several times stronger than a single blow. As a result, Lait's arms, which he had used to block, were instantly broken by the iron fists.
