Manticore snorted coldly. The magic in his body gushed out and released the embryonic form of its domain through its mana veins. The ice and fire intersected and formed a ring that spread out in all directions. It crushed the Thunder Spears that were approaching him, turning them into mana and dissipating.
Laylen saw that all the Thunder Spears were crushed, and he wasn’t disappointed as well.
After all, this was only a Tier 4 magical formation. It would not be a problem for it to be used against people below Tier 4. However, facing Professor Manticore, who was at the peak of Tier 4 and was almost Tier 5, it was a little difficult.
Within the magical barrier, countless Thunder Spears were formed again and attacked Manticore once again.
As long as there was sufficient magic, the formation would not be broken, and Thunder Spears would be formed again and again.
The Manticore did not care about the attacks of the Thunder Spears.. After setting up a magic ring around its body, it flashed in front of the magical formation and attacked the alchemical stone.
The alchemical stone was very hard. When the Manticore hit it with a spell, the surface of the alchemical stone glowed and released a defensive spell engraved on it.
Even if it was only a TIer 4 alchemical stone, it would still be difficult for the Manticore, which was at the peak of Tier 4, to destroy it.
It took him more than ten minutes to successfully destroy the first alchemical stone.
As the alchemical stone shattered, the incantation on it lost its effect and a part of the magical formation lost its luster.
The magical formation was formed by relying on the alchemical stones that were connected to each other. Among all the alchemical stones in a magical formation, only one was the core.
It was crucial to the operation of the entire formation.
As long as the core was broken, the magical formation would be broken.
Therefore, the more powerful the magical formation, the more alchemical stones it would need. Some terrifying magic arrays would even use tens of thousands of alchemical stones.
Therefore, finding the core was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Manticore did not understand magical formations. He could only break the alchemical stones it could touch to weaken the defensive power of the barrier. In this way, as long as the defensive power of the barrier was weak to a certain extent, it could break the barrier and get out.
After another ten minutes, he successfully broke the second one.
“Kid, a mere Tier 4 magical formation can’t trap me.”
After breaking two alchemical stones in a row, the Manticore looked at Laylen through the barrier and said coldly.
High in the sky, Ang Li smiled indifferently. “Father, I said that a Tier 4 magical formation can’t trap teacher. As long as we break a few more alchemical stones, teacher will be able to break this barrier.”
At this time, Creed heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
Outside the mayor’s mansion, the onlookers were a little worried. Once this magical formation was broken, the mayor’s mansion would be no different from the streets and alleys, and they could enter and leave as they pleased.
“I admit that a Tier 4 formation can’t trap you.” Laylen’s expression remained unchanged with a smile on his face, but his voice became strange. “But I can still drive you crazy.”
As soon as he said this, everyone revealed a puzzled look, not understanding what Laylen meant.
Even Manticore frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in its eyes.
Laylen waved his hand, and two more alchemical stones appeared in his hand. The magic array carved on them was still the Berserk Thunder cage.
He then stomped his feet and jumped into the air. Then, he replaced the new alchemical stones.
The dark part of the magic array lit up again.
“The young mayor doesn’t only have one set of alchemical stones!” Beside him, Evelyn’s eyes lit up.
The finished alchemy stone was made by an array master using his mental strength as a blade. He would carve the corresponding formation runes on the alchemy stone. This process would consume a lot of mental strength.
Those forces that didn’t know about magic arrays would usually buy a large magical formation.
If they encountered problems like the broken lines of the runes, they would spend a lot of money to hire people to fix it.
Buying a large magical formation was already a huge expense. Ordinary people couldn’t afford it at all.
“You actually have alchemy stones for the Berserk Thunder Cage?!” The Manticore’s pupils constricted.
He wasn’t afraid, but rather excited. A set of berserk thunder cage killing array required twenty alchemy stones, and the other party actually took out two new ones. Didn’t this mean that this kid had more?
He could even form a set of berserk thunder cage array?
“Hahaha, I don’t have any. There are quite a lot of such worthless gadgets.” Laylen smiled modestly. With a wave of his hand, large amounts of thumb-sized magic ores poured out from his interspatial ring. They piled up like a mountain, and there were hundreds of thousands of them.
Laylen naturally threw out these magic ores to replenish the power of the magical formation.
Hearing Laylen’s words, everyone present felt that it was a little ridiculous. Since when did something as good as Tier 4 alchemy stones become worthless?
Both Manticore and Creed felt that Laylen was just boasting.
As Laylen threw out a pile of magic ores, the magic array automatically absorbed mana and continuously transformed into the Thunder Spear, continuing to launch wave after wave of attacks at Manticore.
Manticore’s fingers trembled slightly and shattered the Thunder Spear, taking advantage of the time when the new thunder spear had yet to condense. It continued to bombard the alchemy stones, but every half an hour, two alchemy stones would be shattered, and Laylen would replace them with new ones.
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed in a hurry, and Manticore was still trapped in the array, which made him somewhat angry out of humiliation. “Brat, let me out!”
He was a half-step transcendent, but he had been trapped in the array for an hour by a Tier 3 brat. He could not help but feel exasperated.
“Have you forgotten what I said just now?” Laylen grinned.
What did he say?
Manticore frowned. He suddenly remembered that Laylen had said that he wanted to drive him crazy.
To be honest, if the other party had enough alchemical stones, they could lock him in the array. However, he did not believe that the price of Tier 4 alchemical stones was shocking. He did not believe that the other party had many.
Manticore continued to attack the magical formation while sneering, “Well, I want to see how many alchemical stones you can use to consume.”
Then, he continued to focus on breaking the array.
However, this continued for four to five hours. The sun was about to set.
In these few hours, Laylen had used nearly thirty alchemical stones.
Inside and outside the mayor’s mansion, many people were speechless. He was a mighty half-step transcendent master. However, he had been trapped by the magic array for four to five hours and hadn’t come out yet.
Inside the barrier, Manticore was anxious and irritated. After attacking the formation for several hours, he was a little tired.
Laylen would take out a new one every time he broke one.
“How many alchemy stones does this stinky brat have?”
Manticore roared in its heart. Now, he was really on the verge of collapse.
How did this brat have so many berserk thunder cage alchemy stones in his hands?! Could it be that in his eyes, this thing was really not worth anything?!
The Manticore stepped on the flying shuttle and floated in mid-air, breathing heavily. The surrounding thunder spears continued to condense and close in on the Manticore before they were crushed again.
This was repeated over and over again.
These Thunder Spears were like countless flies, flying around him. The key was that these “flies” could not be killed.
“Continue, don’t let the battle stop. Don’t tell me you don’t have any strength left?” A very annoying sentence came out of Laylen’s mouth.
He asked the imperial guards to summon a rocking chair with fruit on the side, eating fruits while adjusting it.
Seeing this kid so relaxed, Manticore almost exploded with anger.
His eyes were red as he roared, “How many alchemical stones do you have?!”
Laylen waved his fan leisurely and said, “Not much, but I have enough to trap you for a month.”
Hearing this, Manticore wanted to jump up and hit him.
