However, since things had already happened, Felix decided to just capitalize on the opportunity. It's not like he could turn back time or have a better solution to incite chaos.
Felix also told Luca and the others what happened. This is the best time if they want to make a move.
Some distance away from the city, Luca and the group were now out looking at the billowing smoke.
"Heimdall, being Heimdall, he knew we would reject the idea, so he forced our hand instead," Aldric commented.
"In this case, I agree with him. This is the best scenario. Even if we give them a chance to fight back, how many have the strength to do it? This way, at the very least, they will not leave as slaves. A life without dignity, how could they call it one?" Isolde commented.
Luca frowned, then replied, "I disagree. You can fight back for dignity, you can find a cure for illness. As long as you are not dead, there is always a way to recover. But that doesn't matter now."
Luca turned her gaze to Seraphine, "What about you? Any bad premonition?"
Seraphine shook her head. "No, I should be safe even if we go now." S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Any plan?" Luca asked Aldric, as he was the one who usually made one with Edward.
"At this point, let's just go all out. Send a message to Jake to start cleaning out the spire while we start our attack. Isolde, you know what to do."
Isolde's lips curled into a grin as she knew this meant she could go nuts. As someone with a lot of destructive power, she always had the impulse to use it.
Her hair fluttered in the wind as she started floating up. Despite the distance, for her, this was enough to start the casting.
Despite using mana to use it, her ability came from learning the rules of the world. She just used mana to trigger the reaction.
Dark clouds started gathering over the city, casting ominous darkness in the midst of chaos. Many spheres of elements started floating and spinning around Isolde, and her eyes glinted with many sparks from the elements.
Thunder kept roaring in the air as mist started gathering all over the city, raising the humidity to a new level. The Dragari quickly understood something was happening.
Ironically, no one thought this was human doing. They all started thinking it was the Lycans or other races making trouble for them.
While in reality, humans were the cause. The thunder kept rumbling, rising in intensity.
The ground shook as her mana entered into the tectonic plate, triggering a small movement. It may only be an inch, but this took a lot of her strength.
Her beautiful face turned pale, but the result was satisfying.
CRACKLE!!! RUMBLE!!!

The crevice grew in size, making the whole city shake. As Isolde expected, the protection didn't go all the way to the underground.
It only covered the city land and the sky.
The buildings shook, but their strong foundations allowed most of them to stand tall. The elite Dragari rode their own wyverns, flying high in the sky. Meanwhile, the lower class had no other choice but to take shelter in their own homes.
As the protection barrier started losing its integrity.
BAM! A huge lightning bolt fell from the sky like the wrath of God.
At this moment, Jake, seeing what happened, cursed in his mind, 'Dammit, Isolde, don't you realize I am still inside the city?'
Isolde knew, but she also knew Jake could just escape into the shadows. And she knew, based on experience, this would only be enough to destroy the barrier.
Like a broken mirror, the barrier was destroyed when it hit the spire. To Isolde's amazement, the spire didn't have any damage and still stood tall on the ground.
Jake's muscles bulged as he hit the ground, then launched himself toward the air. Like a meteor, without fear, he landed, creating a crater in the city.
He is not afraid of the Dragari. Based on reports so far, the current strength in the city was far less than the one that came out from the dungeon break.
Isolde landed on the ground with ragged breath. Sweat covered her body.
"How long do you need?" Alaric asked as he needed to stand guard beside her till she recovered.
Meanwhile, Luca and Seraphine had already made their way into the city.
Even though her combat ability is not strong, having a low presence still helps her to infiltrate,
ambush, or get any crucial information.
"Give me 5 minutes. I should recover enough to have a fight, just not cast another one at this scale."
"I never grow tired of seeing how destructive your ability is. If you can cast it as many times as you want, you will be invisible."
"If I could do that, we humans would never be pushed back this far. At the very least, we would be able to take back the area."
"What a confidence. You do remember we have launched many nukes and still haven't made a lot of progress."
Isolde chuckled, "Did you forget what happened at that time? It's not that the nuke doesn't work.
It's just we met our antithesis. Who the fuck will think a monster that could absorb radiation exists in reality? I thought they were only in movies."
"You are right. It's been a while. I almost forgot what happened in the past. Still… if only he survived, things would not turn this worse."
"A cost to clear our greatest enemy at that time. What else can we say? I don't know him personally, but as the strongest hunter, I respect him."
"Sometimes I wonder, did he really die? He is just too strong to disappear like that."
"From our enemy's point of view, he is their strongest adversary. So it's not weird they focused the attack on him."
"That is true, still… he is one of the few hunters that have multiple abilities. And to this day, I still don't know some of it."
