Chapter 2160: Chapter 1205: Inside and Outside the Battlefield (Part 2)
Countless enemy soldiers with murderous intent grinned horribly, raising their weapons to launch a fierce attack towards us once again.
“Illusion Spirit Race, don’t struggle there, you’re about to die together with your master!”
On the city wall of the inner city, Gusta’s gaunt face was full of grimness as he looked towards Snowy, who was panting heavily not far away.
The roots here were noticeably denser than in the outer city, countless roots like giant worms squirmed and intertwined, to the point that the city wall’s original appearance was unrecognizable, leaving only a bloody and dark mass.
Snowy’s breath was weak, her chest rising and falling violently.
The ubiquitous roots greatly disrupted her illusion technique, while Gusta opposite her seemed unaffected. With the addition of his anti-magic power, Snowy was quickly at a severe disadvantage.
As for Saul and the heroic spirits and soldiers of the summoning corps, their battles were equally arduous, because the roots also affected their strength, even proactively entangling high-tier experts.
This meant Saul and others had to focus not only on the enemies before them but also on dodging the ubiquitous roots, a scenario where retreat and advance were both challenging.
Moreover, their opponents were the extremely troublesome Black Fog soldiers.
“Stop your bravado, I’m not letting you interfere with the Lord!”
Snowy straightened her slender body, said seriously to Gusta: “As long as I’m still standing, you won’t leave here!”
“Hehe, if I’m not mistaken, you, like those heroic spirits, have been revived through the Miracle Building of the Coldflame Kingdom, haven’t you?”
Gusta looked at Snowy with a sly grin, and said slowly, “The densely populated Coldflame Royal City is one of the main sources for the supreme entity to draw from, I’m afraid the palace has long been occupied by roots, these roots won’t spare any energy body, including the Miracle Building.”
“Don’t think you can recklessly rely on the Miracle Building, when the Lion King Temple also becomes target for extraction, the life essence of you and those old-timers will dissipate in an instant!”
Gusta’s smile grew cold, ominously said: “In other words, your death is near!”
With these words, Gusta’s imposing aura surged, a sky-covering gray fog swept towards Snowy.
“It was the Lord who awakened me and granted me the chance to reincarnate. Even if I turn to ashes, I won’t let you threaten the Lord a bit!”
Snowy’s pale face showed no fear, she moved directly forward.
Apart from the raging Radiant City, all over the various human nations was the same scene of despair.
On the city wall of Coldflame’s Lion City, countless clawing roots spread like geckos, rapidly extending across the wall.
As for the palace area in the inner city, it had almost become a sea of roots.
Ariel Watson, clad in her queen’s robe, stood tall on the city wall, directing the final batches of royal city residents to evacuate to the highlands outside the city.
“Your Majesty, please evacuate the royal city quickly!”
Asher Porter’s determined face was full of urgency as he pleaded with Ariel Watson.
Just now, as the Prime Minister, he had successively learned that despite Ariel’s swift response, initiating emergency protocol immediately and directing the citizens inside the royal city to evacuate.
But due to the unstoppable bloody roots growing so rapidly and soon revealing their aggressiveness, many soldiers maintaining order and some immobile citizens couldn’t leave in time and were entangled.
A faint wailing and horrified screams arose from different areas of the city, mingled with stench and despair.
Moreover, the roots were continuously emerging from the ground rapidly spreading outside the city, meaning the inside of the city was no longer safe.
Besides being the queen of the Coldflame Kingdom, Ariel Watson was also a close subordinate of the Lord, not one to be endangered.
“Sir Asher, he ventured into the root sources disregarding everything, fighting for the safety of the human world, how could I retreat here?”
Ariel Watson, her crown glittering above her head, said with a resolute expression, “I promised him to guard his rear, not let him be distracted. Now is the time to fulfill my promise!”
“Your Majesty…”
Seeing Ariel’s resolute pale face, Asher decided not to speak further, gritting his teeth instead to assist Ariel in her command.
However, unbeknownst to them, despite the madness of the roots on the ground, countless more roots were lurking deep underground, wildly growing, prepared to break through at any moment.
This included not just the royal city area, but also the highland region where many residents were heading.
Apart from the Coldflame Kingdom, the situation in other various human countries was similar.
Cities, villages, fortresses, bridges, fields, mountains, even the Eternal Sleep Canyon confining the Saint Night Kingdom and Orchid Federation alliance army, nowhere was spared, several cities and villages were even entirely covered by blood-red and darkness.
Darkness descended, the thick clouds in the sky remained, chaos, fear, confusion, screams and wails fiercely spread across the earth of the human world.
Deep within the Light Sanctuary’s Main Temple filled with a murderous atmosphere, Leo Ray, his hands numb, stared at the mysterious entity with a grim twisted face, determined in his heart: “Pelican Princess, what must I do here to advance in rank?”
“Truly bold enough to be the one who awakened this princess, indeed quite resolute.”
Fei’er’s crisp voice immediately sounded, responding: “First, go to the princess’ throne and take out the last Holy Artifact [Odust], only by fully utilizing the power of the Three Sacred Artifacts can you hope to advance.”
“Leave it to me.”
Leo Ray focused his mind, tried his utmost once more, swinging a fierce sword towards the mysterious entity, shouting: “Ross Slash!”
Accompanied by Leo Ray’s voice, hundreds of sword energy beams shot out instantly, sweeping towards the mysterious entity.
Simultaneously, numerous shadows of Leo Ray appeared, surrounding the mysterious entity completely.
“Ants, such laughable petty tricks don’t work before me!”
The mysterious entity scoffed coldly, the war scythe in his hand swung with a fierce red-black wave, dispersing all of Leo Ray’s shadows.
But in that blink, Leo Ray rapidly approached the golden throne nearby, and his figure halted instantly.
“Touch the spot three inches down the throne’s back, and a miniature Barrier Area will open, where the princess’ [Odust] is stored!”
The Pelican Princess’s urgent voice echoed in Leo Ray’s ear.
Noticing Leo Ray’s unusual moves, the mysterious entity reacted quickly, raising the war scythe as a ray of black light, charging with overwhelming murderous intent.
Feeling the imminent murderous wave, Leo Ray gritted his teeth, decisively reaching towards the spot Fei’er indicated.
Sure enough, at the instant Leo Ray touched the throne’s back, space ripples spread open, allowing Leo Ray to delve further.
His palm barely entered the space rift when a slightly cool metallic rod was grasped in his hand.
Without hesitation, Leo Ray retrieved the metallic rod from the small space, and in his view appeared a silver magic wand with a white gemstone embedded on its end.
“Boy, hand over the item to me!”
Seeing Leo Ray retrieve an unfamiliar magic wand from the throne he had occupied for a century, the mysterious entity was astounded, reaching forward to grip the wand’s other end.
Suddenly, Leo Ray felt an overwhelming force surging towards him, the wand almost slipped from his grasp.
