Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 907 - 462: Information Warfare, Rainbow Assault

As it turns out, Louis still underestimated just how notorious Soul Mages are.Not long after the matter was established, nearly 2000 members of Soul Mage criminal groups were quickly gathered by various countries.

Bear in mind, this is after having already consumed a large batch, and now pulling out so many extraordinary criminals again.

It can only be said, Soul Mages are indeed the people that everyone curses.

But there was a small incident among them—the criminals were utterly shocked when they learned the Mind Web had been established.

Pain, it was too painful.

Mister, if I had known you had prepared such a killer move, why would I have chosen to be a criminal back then?

It’s not about absolving them, but without a promising future, many would truly choose to make errors and take risks.

Now seeing a bright future waiting for the Soul Mages, they’ve already been pushed to the gallows, so it’s no wonder they would be mentally shattered.

At least before dying, they can feel the greatness of the Mind Web, which seems worth their price of admission.

Then, a group of Soul Mage criminals under the Mind Web’s blessing actually managed to resist the corrosion.

Though the ones resistant were quite limited, it did happen, and solely due to borrowing the Mind Web’s power.

According to the latest experimental intelligence, ordinary Soul Mages need to be above LV8 to withstand the pollution of the Fairy King’s curse song with only the Mind Web’s blessing.

But finding a LV9 Soul Mage isn’t easy.

Fortunately, this condition can be further lowered.

This is because it doesn’t abide by the Mind’s Three Vows, hasn’t had Louis’s extra reinforcement, nor encountered other means requiring a LV9.

With multiple methods, the levels of Soul Mages can be further decreased.

This increases the options available.

Of course, Louis also promised to deploy a mysterious army for support at that time.

This sparked more curiosity among the countries.

Listening to this description, it sounds unlike the Curse Binding Legion.

Ense is an old brand; does the family have such good stuff that no one knows about yet?

The response was that it’s the newly established experimental troops.

...

Location: 4000 kilometers outside the Secluded Forest Sea Capital

Mayer Floating City is suspended in the sky.

Currently commanding the Floating City is Olivia.

At this moment, she is sitting in her Mage Tower [Ether Emblem], watching the Tower Spirit [Ether·Quantum Light] continuously send magic signals to the surroundings.

Simultaneously, 3900 kilometers away, outside the Golden Land, a group of spellcasters in other mage garments is flying across the sky.

If someone were on the scene, they’d see this is a team of five newly formed exemplary level mages.

They are equipped with communication devices and are transmitting frontline intelligence via the Soldier Realm.

The team name is [Rainbow], with five members: one LV11 Soul Mage, one LV11 traditional Mage, and three LV11 Super Magic Curse Users.

Let’s just call them Rainbow 01 to 05.

The mage garments they wear are specially developed by Olivia to enhance the range and power of magical effects.

This magic garment has significant limitations.

It seems to increase range and damage but due to being completely beyond the mage’s perception range and energy being highly concentrated, the accuracy is quite poignant.

Low accuracy is one thing, but to achieve such strong magical effects, sacrifices have to be made.

For example, consuming their already scarce casting times.

It can be said that in conventional operations, this team can achieve effects far less than a normal mage team.

Yet, after hearing some interesting tactics from Louis, Olivia began to prepare 20 such teams.

Mainly for probing new tactics.

Currently, the [Rainbow] team members are interfacing with the Ether·Quantum Light Tower Spirit.

Rainbow 02: "Rainbow 02 calling Ethereal Tower Spirit, my team has entered area 23, currently using pre-deployed Soul Mages as relay, searching for enemy Fairy King target."

Indeed.

Using Soldier Realm Contractors as relays, directly retrieving internal enemy intelligence.

But this method has a prerequisite—the Soul Mages must be alive.

So who are these Soul Mages?

Answer: They were sent by the countries before, Soul Mage criminals specially strengthened by the Mind Web.

Now in front of Olivia, the Tower Spirit [Ether] autonomously responds:

"Rainbow 02, Ethereal Tower Spirit received, our early warning and standby forces with you all, plan 0213 begin as scheduled."

Rainbow 02·Traditional Mage: "01 hold position, 03, 04 you go up, I go down."

Rainbow 03/04·Super Magic Curse User: "03 acknowledged, altitude 60 upward."

Rainbow 02’s voice is very steady, communication messages transmitted to the front Rainbow 01·Soul Mage:

"01 pay attention, detected aerial reconnaissance units are probing extraordinary life signals ahead, prepare for Mind Web intervention immediately."

Rainbow 01·Soul Mage: "01 understood."

Rainbow 02: "01, activate psychic protection, we advance to canyon no. 2."

If modern people were to notice this team’s setup, they would be astounded.

It’s clearly the embryonic form of information warfare.

In all professional systems, mages strike unrivaled with their attack range, leaving other professions with heads down and fleeing.

Within the current system, various professions more or less have some magical means, finely optimizing to counter mages.

Especially those "old players" from the Elf Era, they’ve been infuriated enough by those elf squads wielding bows in one hand and magic in the other.

Now they more or less suffer from a bit of PTSD.
