The Creator’s Alchemy Platform emitted an inexplicable glow.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands were controlling the five alchemy materials to reconstruct the body.

The vampire’s body was straightened and reconstructed by an invisible force. The old and bent body slowly shed a layer of dead skin, giving birth to new life. If someone was beside him at this time, they would definitely realize that this new skin was not a skin that a human could have, it was like the wrinkled skin of a bat.

The all-purpose steel frame pierced into the reborn vampire’s body, turning into a pool of molten steel that fused perfectly into the body, completely supporting the body. It gave people the illusion that the body should have been one with the frame, because the fusion was so perfect that not a single flaw could be found.

The Eagle Witch’s Bird Beak turned into a pile of powder and fused into the corpse, reconstructing the four limbs of the corpse. The new limbs looked very sharp and shone with a cold light.

The Inferior Red Crystal slowly melted into the shape of mud and seeped into the body bit by bit. The new white wrinkled skin slowly turned black and red, completely turning into a new type of thing.

The last important point was that the core of the earth attribute magic crystal slowly floated towards the right heart of the newborn corpse. It could be said that as long as the heart was not destroyed, this Gargoyle would have endless motivation.

A golden light spread out in the room. Mas covered his eyes because the golden light was too dazzling. After about ten seconds, Mas slowly opened his eyes.

A cold system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations, great master of alchemy, you have successfully refined a four-star alchemical creature—Red Crystal Gargoyle]

[You have successfully refined a four-star creature. You have received 40 EXP. Since this is the first time you have successfully refined an item, your EXP is doubled.]

Then, a system interface appeared in front of Mas.

[Mas]

[Alchemy Level: Lv1]

[Alchemy Technique mastered: Gargoyle Crafting Technique]

[Alchemy EXP: 80 / 1000]

When Mas saw his general attributes, he only glanced at them curiously before closing the panel.

At this critical juncture where lives were at stake, these were not important. As long as he survived this crisis, he could look at this panel for as long as he wanted.

Now, he had to see if the Red Crystal Gargoyle could help him survive this crisis and help him resolve this situation.

Mas then checked the Red Crystal Gargoyle’s information.

[Red Crystal Gargoyle]

[Level: Advanced Four-star]

[Ability: Rapid Flight, Crystal Skin, Elementary Magic Resistance, Sharp Claw, Intermediate Alchemy Power Source]

“Tsk, Level 4 alchemical creatures are equivalent to Level 4 jobs. However, alchemical creatures are not afraid of pain. With all the factors of infinite power added together, they are usually twice as strong as creatures of the same level.

Knights were divided into knight apprentices, entry-level knights, knight elites, and knight generals. In comparison, my Red Crystal Vampire was not any weaker than Karl.

I wonder if I can rely on this Gargoyle to solve today’s problem. I hope Karl is an understanding guy,” Mas muttered to himself.

…..

Outside the Alchemy Tower, a handsome man with golden hair and blue eyes was sitting on a warhorse, ready to attack. He was wearing silver-white armor and carrying a long spear made of meteorite iron on his back. Because of the magical runes, it was blood-red. Even an outsider who did not know much could tell that it was fake. The long spear kept shaking slightly with its owner, which showed that its owner was not as calm as he looked.

This person was the Knight Chief Carl, who was leading the Knight Brigade. At this moment, he was staring at the Alchemy Tower with a gloomy expression. Thinking of the various instructions the king had given before he set off, Carl was even more displeased.

“Damn liar!”

Karl secretly clicked his tongue. He could only say such words in his heart.

“Lord Karl, it’s been almost an hour, but that swindler Swoks Ryan still hasn’t responded. It seems that he wants to rely on this Alchemy Tower to fight against us,” said a knight on the horse as he quickly rode to Karl’s side.

“What did Mage Anthony say? Are they able to resist the bombardment of the magic rune turret?” Karl asked in a deep voice.

“Mage Anthony said that there seems to be a small problem with these rune turrets. However, we are not sure if it is that kind of problem. We are currently discussing with the other mages.” The knight bent his back and reported calmly.

“There’s a small problem with the rune turret. Hiss, what does this mean? We can’t be careless about such a big matter!”

“Mage Anthony said that these rune turrets look fine on the outside, but the inside seems to have been hollowed out. He didn’t sense any magic fluctuation from these rune turrets!” The knight hurriedly explained when he saw Karl’s tone turning hostile.

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed across Karl’s eyes. He immediately pulled the reins and rode towards the mages.

“Mage Anthony, I heard from my subordinate that there is a huge problem with this rune turret. Is it true?” Karl looked at the dignified old man in the lead and asked respectfully.

Mage Anthony, the only Level 5 mage in the Storm Empire, the chief mage of the palace, the magic teacher of the princes and princesses, had participated in all kinds of battles. With all of these reasons, Karl respected this old mage from the bottom of his heart.

“It’s you, Little Karl. It’s been a few years since we last met, but you’re already so heroic. Not bad, not bad. I did say that before, but I’m not sure for now. It’s too dangerous to approach these turrets rashly.

Although the rune turrets looks the same as usual, the other mages and I didn’t feel the magic waves from the turrets!

The rune turret, as its name implied, made use of alchemy techniques to engrave magic runes made by advanced Mages into the turret. Before it is activated, the rune turret will continuously absorb magic power from the outside world as a reserve until it is saturated. A rune turret that has not been used for a long time will definitely emit strong magic waves, which is a sign of overflowing magic power!

However, the other mages and I didn’t sense any magic power fluctuations from the rune turrets around the Alchemy Tower. We suspected that these rune turrets are just empty shells and have no practical use.

“However, we can’t be sure about that. It could be because the other Mages and I are too weak to sense the magic waves in the rune turrets. It could also be some other reason, or Swoks used some alchemy to block the magic waves emitted by the rune turrets.”

After hearing this, Karl looked at the magnificent Alchemy Tower that was hundreds of meters away, and his expression was a little uncertain.

Because half a year ago, Swoks sold a batch of one to two-star alchemy soldiers to the royal family of the Storm Empire.

The King of the Storm Empire was overjoyed. With this extraordinary combat power, the tense battle at the front line would definitely be greatly eased. Everything was progressing so smoothly until the two armies clashed again. The Storm Empire discovered that these alchemical soldiers could not withstand a single blow. The army of the Storm Empire was like clay chickens and pottery dogs that were driven straight in by the army of the Pope. In the end, the Storm Empire’s royal family signed a treaty to humiliate the country. The enraged royal family swore to skin Swoks alive!!!

Because of this matter, in order to regain his reputation, the king of the empire had directly pulled out the Imperial Guard knights and court sorcerers who were guarding the Imperial Capital. It was to immediately capture Swoks and bring him back to the capital city, then send him to be burned on the streets!

But now, Swoks could not see anyone at all, and there was no one else to represent him. If they directly attacked, he was very worried about the authenticity of the rune turret. If it was the first reason, they would not be so suspicious. If it was the second possibility, and even Mage Anthony could not sense it, they would definitely be blasted into smithereens if they acted rashly.

Although they might be empty shells like what Mage Anthony said, Karl did not dare to take the risk. He could not gamble with the lives of his subordinates, which was very irresponsible.

If there were too many casualties in this operation, he would probably be executed on the streets.

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, a huge red and black figure flew through the air and landed on the door of the Alchemy Tower!
