Fei Li fell, and the purple energy pillar around his body also fell. Andrea could have scattered some of his energy and replaced Fei Li. However, just as he was about to do so, he suddenly stopped.
Andrea suddenly thought that he could not reveal his true strength, otherwise the sudden increase in his strength would attract the suspicion of others.
The six of them had lost a corner of the formation, and a gap had appeared in the restrictions on the Nine-headed Giant Snake.
The Nine-headed Giant Snake's attacks on the Magus King suddenly became violent. Their snake heads brushed past their bodies several times, as though they were about to take away their Magus King's life.
Even though he was a Magus King, in the face of the strongest form of the Python that was created by the fusion of nine beasts, he had no choice but to fall into a dangerous situation.
"Stop forming the formation, come and help me." Magus King's voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.
The king was asking for help. It seemed that the situation had indeed reached a very dangerous point. The purple pillars of energy around the disciples fell from the sky, after that, a black Sickle appeared around their bodies. The Sickle took their bodies and bit them into the air, then held them up next to Magus King. This also included the collapsed Fei Li who was out of strength.
"Protect me." The Magus King said.
The six instantly separated. The Sickle behind them was controlled by the Magus King.
The ability of the Magus King to control many threads of the Sickle made Andrea exclaim in surprise. Not all the disciples could control the Sickle, not even the disciples of the Magus King. Sickle was a type of bloodthirsty beast with attacking machinery. Using the energy of magic to control them was like a trainer using a rope to pull a tiger that had yet to be tamed. Amongst the eleven disciples of the Magus King, only Peter, Jacob, and Yue Han had learned how to control Sickle, and of the three, only Peter alone was able to control a large number of Sickle. Jacob and Yue Han could only control a few Sickle well.
Controlling a large number of Sickle and making them work together in an orderly fashion was something that even Peter and Andrea who had obtained Peter's strength could not do without making a mistake. The title of the King of Sickle was indeed well-deserved.
Just as Andrea was having all sorts of thoughts in his heart, a Nine-headed Giant Snake that had been completely released pounced on them viciously.
The snake's head pounced on the group of people in the air like it was pouncing on tiny flies. However, just like how humans found it difficult to differentiate between flies, in the eyes of the Nine-headed Giant Snake, these tiny humans floating in the air also looked about the same. Once they started flying, they would become completely mixed together, and it was impossible to tell which one was the real danger to them.
Including Fei Li who had recovered a little of his strength, the six of them used different methods to attack the Nine-headed Giant Snake. Some of them were experts in fire type magic, some were experts in ice type magic and some even specialised in medical treatment and curses, and of course the strongest was Andrea who had devoured Xi Men Xi and Peter. It was just that Andrea was not willing to display his full strength at this moment. Purple javelins kept appearing in his hands, and he threw them at the snake heads of the Nine-headed Giant Snake. Most of the javelins were knocked down by the snake heads, and some of them even hit the snake heads, causing quite a bit of damage.
A colourless energy ball was condensed in Magus King's hand.
Ander, who had some spare energy, was the first to notice Magus King's actions. For Magi, apart from understanding the amount of magic and the amount of magic energy in their body, there was another important factor that determined a Magus' strength. That was the purity of their magic energy. Ordinary Magi used dark purple energy. As their abilities increased, the purity of their magic energy would also increase. The energy of the ultimate spell should be completely transparent, without a hint of other colours. However, the later the stage, the harder it was to purify the energy, so some people believed that no matter how powerful the energy was, there would always be impurities in it. Pure energy could only exist in the ideal state.
The barrier left behind by the Magus King was the best example. Even someone as powerful as the Magus King would use a faint purple coloured energy from a spell. This purple colored energy was the manifestation of the impure impurities in the spell.
But Andrea could clearly see that the ball of energy in Magus King's hand had almost reached a completely transparent state. Compared to the light purple color that he used to create the barrier, the purity of the energy Magus King was now many times higher.
Andrea believed that in terms of progress, he should be the fastest one to have absorbed Xi Men and Peter. Magus King had already reached an extremely high realm, and every step forward in that realm should be extremely difficult. But it was clear that the Magus King was also improving, and the speed and range of the progress was far faster than Andrea. How did Wang Mu do it?
Andrea suddenly thought back to what the Magus King had told him before — that the six Magus King s would eventually become one, and that the six of them were born to be each other's food.
Fei Li's waist was bitten by a snake! He could have avoided that attack, but the lack of stamina caused his speed to slow down. He wanted to rely on the Sickle behind him to help him dodge, but obviously those Sickle did not.
The huge teeth in the snake head sunk into Fei Li's body, he opened his mouth wide, but before he could say anything, a big chunk of his body was torn apart by Fei Li. His organs and intestines floated out in the air, and then, his limbs were thrown down by the Sickle, like a useless piece of trash falling into a churning lake.
"Fei Li!" Jacob shouted out Fei Li's name. Fei Li was one of the more ordinary disciples. He did not have any seniority nor did he have a strong talent like a new disciple. But he is dead, and only when he is dead will you remember every detail of him, and you will notice that he is also an important part of your life.
On that day, the black tower lost another disciple forever. The mediocre Fei Li died.
"No!" Jacob let out a heart-wrenching howl. In his view, all of this was because of the Magus King. If not for him leaving Europe to head to the ocean, if he didn't pretend to be sick and need the dragon blood, if he didn't come to the Qingyu Lake to suppress these huge snakes, if he didn't know that Fei Li was powerless, he would have brought him to heaven …
Fei Li originally did not have to die, and Peter did not have to die either. However, these people were all dead, and they died for the King, yet the King did not shed a single tear for them.
"Done." Wang suddenly said.
He raised the sparkling energy ball in his hand high up. The energy ball was like a condensed sun, and even with the naked eye, one could see the endless energy rolling within the ball.
Jacob and Andrea looked over, including the rest of the Nine-headed Giant Snake's heads.
It was only natural that the king should be the focus of everything.
