Chapter 228: Avada Star‑Annihilation Cannon

Beside the derailed train, the Lightning Crow transformed into a dense electric net attacking the soldiers who had awakened; fortunately, not many soldiers woke up from the impact, and soon they received help from the Werewolf mercenaries.

After the Werewolf mercenaries searched, there was still a Wizard on the train, but he had already been controlled while unconscious; the remaining MuggleSoldier firearms were not very effective against the crows that could become lightning and the mercenaries with extremely strong self‑healing.

Soon the battle was suppressed, gunfire gradually faded, becoming sparse and almost inaudible.

…

On the other side, Murphy, who had beheaded A Lieke Xie, planted his longsword into the ground, steadied his body, and barely avoided falling.

Two large wounds on his chest and abdomen were bleeding, but fortunately they were not fatal.

He took out some White Fresh to staunch the bleeding locally, and the powerful regeneration in his transformed form quickly healed his wounds.

However, there was a price: the cells in those areas divided more frequently, greatly increasing the risk of cancer.

But he could no longer worry about that.

A Lieke Xie was too troublesome; a series of unprecedented Magic, not to mention the final Curse, was extremely dangerous.

Looking at the head that would not close its eyes in death, Murphy exhaled in relief.

"Can't figure it out?"

In fact, he simply shifted his heart to the right, avoiding being pierced by that blow.

As for how he did it—although he cannot yet control magnetic fields like Magneto, he can briefly create a lightning loop at some spot on his body, then use another coil in his palm to shift it slightly, which is achievable.

Murphy was about to throw a C4 to blow the corpse apart when a sudden thought struck him; an earth spear attacked from behind, which he kicked away, and the two elemental giants that had been on standby since earlier suddenly moved and charged at him again.

Murphy was startled, furrowed his brows, and stamped his foot on Salman's corpse leg, crushing it into mud.

Not metaphorically—it was truly mud.

"Mud stand-in?"

Damn!

Could these guys really be from the Ninja world?

Murphy instantly flashed upward into the sky, no longer grappling with the two giants, and began pondering A Lieke Xie's whereabouts.

This place is sealed by a Spatial Anchor, so he is unlikely to teleport out; perhaps he burrowed underground, or maybe possessed a tree?

Murphy looked around but found no trace of burrows or the like.

It's not a retreat but a hideout… judging from the earlier earth spear, he is still waiting for a chance to launch another counterattack.

Murphy drew his wand, "Point Me."

The wand spun a few slick circles between his palms, yet pointed nowhere.

His connection with Magic Power remained blocked, and the Spell could not take effect.

It felt as if someone had added an electromagnetic shield to this area's Magic Net, making the signal extremely weak.

This sealing of Magic is too troublesome; to find A Lieke Xie, he must first lift the magical blockade on this area.

He doesn't know what method was used to add the shield, so he cannot remove it, but using Magic under these conditions isn't impossible—just brute‑force the signal strength.

He spread his arms in midair, "Return, my crow flock."

The suppression work on the train side was basically finished; the remaining tasks were left to the Werewolf mercenaries. After leaving about a hundred crows for support, the remaining several thousand crows flew back to Murphy, circling and cawing in the air, gradually forming six massive black cloud pillars that pierced the heavens and the earth according to Murphy's will.

They flew in the same direction within the pillars, forming concentric circular loops.

What is called a Magic Power signal is ultimately just a fluctuation of Magic Power.

These thousands of Lightning Crows can all transmit his Magic Power.

This has already been verified through Goblin Gold Coins.

Since they can transmit Magic Power, according to the Magic Power tip theory, can they be seen as individual tips? As detached wands?

If they are arranged into an array, could his Magic Power signal strength be amplified by this crow phased‑array Magic Power signal antenna?

Murphy flapped his wings, hovering at the center of those few crow‑array antennas so massive they had to be measured in kilometers.

He now wonders how much his Magic Power would be amplified through this "wand" array.

A few minutes later, he finished calculating the phased‑array parameters, assigned a serial number to each crow antenna, and then, in order according to a timing rule, transmitted Magic Power fluctuations to each crow.

He will use Magic Power to scan the area below and locate A Lieke Xie.

At first, everything remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

But soon, a sudden breeze rose, and tiny snake‑like bolts of electricity and thunder‑fire appeared frequently within a space spanning dozens of kilometers.

Immediately after, the ground began to tremble, and fine sand and stones seemed to lose weight and float upward.

At some point, the sky gradually darkened.

Sunlight was blocked, countless dark clouds gathered from all directions, covering the whole area, making the ground beneath a place where one could not see their hand in front of them, as if night had arrived early.

Boom! A scarlet lightning spread across the sky, like a wound cracking open in the heavens.

Huge fissures roamed across the ground, forming bottomless canyons.

In the distance, the great river suddenly erupted in flames, as if the water itself had turned into flammable material.

The forest withered rapidly, the green erased, leaving only rotting black ash.

The tremor of Magic Power grew increasingly violent; each crest caused flowers to bloom within hundreds of meters, each trough turned everything it passed into dust.

Murphy was at the center of the Magic Power vibration; at that moment, he clearly felt the thing trying to bind his Magic Power.

It was a net with five strange dimensions, not up/down/left/right/front/back, but Earth, Sky, River, Forest, and Lightning.

Each of the five concepts spread into massive webs, like five tentacled monsters, permeating every corner of Magic Power.

And at this moment, they formed a prohibition.

The form of the prohibition was extremely complex, but simply it can be rendered as: all unauthorized Magic Power in this area is forbidden to travel on any pathway related to the five‑concept networks.

Although they only prohibited pathways linked to the five concepts, because those concept networks cover a vast portion of Magic Power, the effect is essentially the same as banning all pathways.

However, at that moment, the prohibition net was inflated by a massive surge of Magic Power, and suddenly, like a breached dam, with a whoosh, the Magic Power torrent smashed one existing Magic Power channel after another, turning places that had no rivers into a vast sea.

Boom—, Murphy seemed to break through a boundary, his Magic Power instantly sweeping across dozens of kilometers.

He only performed a scan, but the Magic Power amplified to terrifying intensity was like a scorching laser that almost set the ground below ablaze.

In the next instant, countless pieces of information surged into Murphy's mind; they seemed like a deity, and in a flash incorporated everything into their heart.

The Magic Power antenna is not merely a Magic signal transmitter, but also a receiver; it gathers information far richer than ordinary sight, and through the massive raven array antenna reconverges onto Murphy, nearly shattering their consciousness in an instant from the feedbacking torrent of information.

They immediately cut off the link with the raven antenna.

Yet before that, they still captured and locked onto a humanoid whose Magic Power fluctuations were markedly different, and issued a command.

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Sizzle..." The myriad serpentine electric arcs around the Magic Power antenna array suddenly turned a terrifying green.

All the crows began to caw, their wings flashing emerald phosphorescence, and their eyes grew green with madness.

The black cloud pillars that pierced the heavens turned into massive cloud cannons flashing green light.

The earth trembled, as if foreseeing its own fate, emitting a shuddering roar.

"Ga! Mo ga!"

A green sphere dozens of meters in diameter formed beneath the antenna array; then, accompanied by a silent, massive boom, a grand Spell instantly crossed thousands of meters, striking the forest below.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Can't take it anymore, staying up late lately, brain about to explode, always feeling chest pain; at least finish this little climax, take a day off at the end of the month, let me catch my breath...
