Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree-Chapter 557: Hit and Run

Six colossal space fortresses, along with Albert himself, were completely enveloped in intense space jump fluctuations before the firepower of the nest’s frenzied counterattack could reach them.

They didn’t vanish gradually, but rather disappeared instantly, like being erased from the picture, leaving no trace for pursuit.

When the nest’s violent energy torrents, spirit spikes, and space distortion beams swept over, they vainly reached at emptiness, stirring the already broken void into greater chaos, unable to capture a single trace of the enemy.

And in that dead void, the once massive and hideous Level 6 Nest had already changed beyond recognition.

Nearly one-third of its body had disappeared, as if bitten off savagely by an invisible giant mouth.

The remaining part was riddled with large craters, tearing wounds, and marks of burning and collapse, chaotic energy leaking constantly from the wounds like a dying man’s blood.

The life aura it emitted rapidly declined, and the cold will of the nest also became weak and chaotic.

The Level 6 Nest was not dead, but had suffered unprecedented, nearly devastating damage.

Lost one-third of its body, which meant its countless years of accumulation, vast energy reserves and many functional structures were utterly wasted.

Without long years and enormous resources, it is absolutely impossible to recover its previous peak state.

This time, the Wizard Plane’s action was extremely fast and sudden, giving the Void Insect Race no time to react or chance to counterattack.

To the Void Insect Race, this was an unexpected, sudden and fierce strike, and the intensity of the strike was extremely high, far exceeding the normal defensive capabilities of the Level 6 Nest.

If they could have foreseen this attack and made some preparations in advance, they certainly wouldn’t have suffered such losses.

Even if it couldn’t be predicted, even with a bit more reaction time, such damage wouldn’t have been suffered.

But this time, the Wizard Plane came prepared, their attack was so fast that the Void Insect Race simply couldn’t react.

They never expected that six enormous space fortresses could suddenly appear nearby, and launch an attack at the moment of appearance.

Such a tactic was almost never seen even in the past, and the Wizard Plane had too much information, each attack targeted the weakest spots of the Level 6 Nest.

The entire attack process was obviously rehearsed many times, extremely crisp and efficient, clearly supported by very rich intelligence information.

The Void Insect Race’s counterattack actually came quickly, but the people from the Wizard Plane fled even faster, before the attack could reach, they were already gone.

The entire process actually only took an instant, the Wizard Plane didn’t plan to linger at all, launching the attack and leaving immediately.

The Void Insect Race still doesn’t even know who attacked them, not a single piece of information, even if they want revenge, they don’t know who to look for.

They have disturbed and attacked too many places within the Endless Plane, and the Wizard Plane is just one of them, impossible to connect to the Wizard Plane for a moment.

Even if they could think of the Wizard Plane, the Void Insect Race can’t find the Wizard Plane.

Because the Wizard Plane has already activated protection mechanisms at this moment, concealing its plane coordinates, making it impossible to find the Wizard Plane’s location based on previous plane coordinates.

The Void Insect Race suffered heavy damage, and will need extremely long to slowly recover in the future.

If they encounter any strong enemy during this process, it will be even more dangerous.

However, wanting to completely destroy the Void Insect Race remains extremely difficult, because they have already spread the seeds of the Void Insect Race throughout the Endless Plane.

Even the Wizard Plane finds it difficult to clean out the already invading Void Insect Race completely, the situation for other planes is probably similar.

The act of the Void Insect Race spreading seeds to invade other planes is, besides plundering resources, essentially a means to leave themselves a fallback.

Even if this Level 6 Nest gets taken down, there are still Void Insect Race dispersed throughout the Endless Plane lurking.

These Void Insect Race are almost impossible to completely eliminate, meaning the species is hard to truly extinguish.

However, there may not be only this one Level 6 Nest for the Void Insect Race; perhaps higher level nests exist.

In the Endless Plane, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

Perhaps this Level 6 Nest is just like those Level 1 Nests within the Wizard Plane, merely an ordinary nest distributed throughout the Endless Plane by the Void Insect Race.

The Wizard Plane doesn’t plan to get caught up in a prolonged war with the Void Insect Race, taking this into consideration.

The various characteristics of the Void Insect Race determine it is an extremely challenging opponent, getting stuck in a bitter battle with them is extremely unwise.

On the Wizard Plane side, they haven’t let this news out, most people still don’t know about this action.

The Wizard Council is also purposely hiding this news, the goal is naturally to prevent the Void Insect Race from gathering this information.

After all, now there are quite a few active Void Insect Race on the Wizard Plane; if they manage to gather this information, it will likely lead to insane retaliation from the Void Insect Race.

.....

Wizard Plane, Green Grass Island.

Duke has returned to Green Grass Island on the sea for rest in the past few days, this action task is essentially concluded.

Now, even the number of Void Insect Race in the sea area is extremely sparse, most nests have already been destroyed.

The remaining few stragglers are unable to form any threat since the Sea Race has become more vigilant of the Void Insect Race, significantly strengthening monitoring in this area.

Once any Void Insect Race emerges, it immediately leads to fierce fighting by the Sea Race.

However, the sea area is so vast, and it’s unpredictable whether the Void Insect Race might find a sufficiently safe, secluded place to quietly develop. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

But even if they manage to grow to a certain scale, it will take a long time.

During this period, besides honing combat capabilities and sharpening skills in battles, Duke also gained a lot of loot in various cleanup missions.

Because his position in Black Sail is higher than that of ordinary Wizards, he often qualifies to lead a battle group on missions, thus benefiting greatly.

The most important, naturally, is the Heart of the Insect Race, over the past months, at least fed more than twenty Level 1 Insect Race Hearts to the World Tree Seed.

The World Tree Seed consumed them all, but showed no sign of sprouting, this amount of Life Energy seems insufficient to even fill its teeth.

Duke once again felt the World Tree was indeed a gold-consuming giant, so many Hearts of the Insect Race would fetch a lot of Magic Stones if sold.
