Divine-level Base

Chapter 323 - 322: Sudden Change

A burly, middle-aged man entered a room at the top of the Level 1 Energy Tower. He had blond hair, blue eyes, a neatly trimmed beard, and a heroic appearance, and he wore a Brentanian military uniform with the epaulets of a Marshal.

Inside the room were several people: an old man with white hair and a white beard, dressed in a black Mage Robe; an Elf with blond hair, blue eyes, and skin as white as jade, who was tall, stunningly beautiful, and appeared quite young; a burly, two-meter-tall man with red hair, bulging muscles, and a full beard; and another old man of average build and ordinary looks, who wore a white Mage Robe and had a gloomy expression.

The old man in the black Mage Robe was the Legendary Great Mage Balboa. The blond-haired, blue-eyed Elf was the Legendary Elf Shooter Salora. The red-haired, burly man was the Legendary Warrior Kale. And the old man in the white Mage Robe was the Legendary Great Mage Shinar.

These four were the powerful reinforcements invited by the Brentania Republic—powerhouses of the Spirit Saint Level.

Balboa said coolly, "Stigta, what brings you here?"

The middle-aged man who had just entered was Stigta, one of the twin pillars of the Brentania Republic and a powerhouse of the Half-Saint Level.

Stigta was a military expert with unparalleled command ability. Under his direction, the Brentania Republic’s three-hundred-thousand-strong army had conquered one Void Demon Clan territory after another on the Void Demon Battlefield, slaying thirteen Void Demon Counts and two Void Demon Marquises.

The Brentania Republic’s army was the Human Race force that had penetrated the deepest into the Void Demon Battlefield.

Realizing his army had advanced too deep, Stigta had decisively made camp, constructing a Level 1 Spiritual Ability Tower and establishing a large city on the spot.

The Void Demon Clan’s armies launched frenzied attacks, but they were all easily repelled by Brentania’s three hundred thousand elite soldiers, with countless slaughtered. At least two hundred thousand of the Void Demon Clan’s slaves and vassal-race cannon fodder were gunned down by Brentania’s elite troops.

After all the fierce fighting, Brentania’s three hundred thousand elite soldiers had only suffered three thousand casualties. As for the one-hundred-thousand-strong allied forces from nations affiliated with the Brentania Empire, their casualties numbered only five thousand.

"The day of the final battle is fast approaching. I came to strengthen our bonds. How about we have a drink together? This is Moon God’s Intoxication, a secret wine from the Elf Clan that I’ve treasured for ten years. Anyone interested in a glass?"

Stigta smiled faintly, walked over to a table, and took out a Crystal Bottle. Within the bottle, mysterious rays of Moonlight seemed to float.

The moment Stigta opened the bottle, an intoxicating aroma instantly filled the air. Dazzling rays of Moonlight poured from the Crystal Bottle, forming into beautiful and mysterious moonlight flowers.

"That smells amazing! Pour me a glass!"

Kale’s nose twitched, and his cravings got the better of him. He immediately went to Stigta’s side and picked up a cup.

Stigta smiled faintly and poured the Moon God’s Intoxication directly into the cup.

"Great wine, truly great wine! It’s delicious! This Moon God’s Intoxication is worthy of its reputation as a tribute for the Divine Spirits. It’s just too good!"

Kale downed the Moon God’s Intoxication in a single gulp. A look of sheer bliss appeared in his eyes, and he couldn’t stop praising it.

"This is indeed the most authentic Moon God’s Intoxication. I haven’t had any this genuine in many years!"

Salora also drained her glass of Moon God’s Intoxication. A blush rose on her stunningly beautiful face as she let out a soft sigh.

Moon God’s Intoxication was the Elf Clan’s finest secret wine. It required the collection of hundreds of types of Spirit Fruits and nectars, and could only be produced through one of the Elf Clan’s Secret Techniques, a process that took ten years.

Moon God’s Intoxication was typically an offering the Elf Clan made to the Moon God. Legend had it that the Moon God and other Divine Spirits were all very fond of it, and it was always served when they entertained guests.

"So it really is Moon God’s Intoxication! This flavor... it brings back memories."

Balboa drained his glass of Moon God’s Intoxication. A nostalgic look appeared in his eyes as he let out a soft sigh.

Stigta offered a glass of Moon God’s Intoxication to Shinar. "Great Mage Shinar, this is for you."

Shinar said coolly, "Thank you, but I have no interest in alcoholic beverages before a major battle."

"Stigta, there’s something wrong with this guy, don’t mind him! I’ll drink it!"

Kale snatched the glass of Moon God’s Intoxication and downed it in one go. A look of bliss crossed his face as he exclaimed, "Delicious! Truly the most delicious wine!"

"Indeed! A wine this fine is incredibly rare; I’m almost reluctant to drink it myself. Still, to be able to bury four Legendary Powerhouses in one fell swoop... this bottle of Moon God’s Intoxication is well worth it!"

Stigta smiled faintly and downed the Moon God’s Intoxication in his hand.

"Stigta, what do you mean by that?"

Balboa’s expression changed drastically. He immediately gripped his Magic Staff, but he could feel his Magic Power slipping completely out of his control. A chill instantly rose in his heart.

Salora shot to her feet and reached for her Legendary War Bow, the Dragon Slaying Bow, but her body trembled and she collapsed limply onto the table.

Kale tried to rise, but immediately stumbled and fell to the ground.

Shinar gripped his Magic Staff, only to find his limbs weak and numb, unable to muster a shred of strength. The Magic Power in his body was in turmoil. Shocked and enraged, he demanded, "Stigta, I was extremely careful! I didn’t drink a thing! How am I poisoned?"

Stigta smiled. "Poison? This is no poison! It’s a... baptism! This Level 1 Spiritual Ability Tower is releasing the Spiritual Energy of a Top-grade Spirit Stone. That Spiritual Energy, combined with the fragrance of the Moon God’s Intoxication, allows you to undergo a powerful baptism and evolution. Of course, during this evolutionary process, you will temporarily be unable to control your bodies. The whole thing should only last about ten minutes."

A cold glint flashed in Balboa’s eyes as he snarled, "Stigta, you dare poison us? Are you trying to break the treaty between our two nations? If you kill us, your Brentania Republic will no longer be an ally of our Fiery Sun Empire. Furthermore, when you Blue Star People enter our Gulondo World, you will be hunted down by everyone!"

"I would be delighted if you did! It would only make achieving my goals that much easier! So, please, all of you, just die!"

Stigta drew a Long Sword and, with a few casual slashes, unleashed terrifying bursts of Sword Qi that instantly struck the four Legendary Powerhouses in the room.
