With the help of Florine’s spell, the purification of the poison reached another level. It was still not complete eradication of the poison but it brought more time for the citizens to evacuate

Not only that, but the vines on the large towering trees also moved. As if they were whips, they attacked the single piece of snowflake

As soon as the vines made contact with the snowflake, they were instantly frozen and shattered into icy specks of dust

However, it was not as if it was ineffective. The might of the snowflake was constantly reducing and even its falling speed was affected

In the end, when Florine’s face was already pale, the snowflake finally used up all of its power before dissipating, unable to affect Greenwood City

Florine heaved a sigh of relief. There was a green magic circle on her palm that she uses to manipulate her spell

“[Healing Feasts!]”

The frozen and shattered vines from the trees that covered the entirety of the city regrew at a rapid pace and those vines either attacked the terrorists or they healed the injured humans that could still be saved

Bone Sage himself had a sigh of relief and he focuses on the fox masks mages again

“Die!”

The General wielded his [Bone Centipede Sword] once more to attack

It was also at this moment that several auras appeared. And the owner of these auras are 6th fusion rank mages!

It was not only the military that has 6th fusion rank mages! The top mage clans and organizations also have theirs!

Overall, there were five more 6th fusion rank mages that appeared

Two of these five are female. One of them was wearing heavy metal armor and the other one wore a revealing bloodred dress

The remaining three are male mages. One of them was topless with bulgings muscles. Another was an old man wearing loose mage robes, and the last one was a mage that looks like a young man though he is definitely at least a middle-aged uncle

“Steel Goddess, Bloody Mary, Lightning Cheetah, Light Scholar, and Dazzling Star Kid… indeed, even an average city of the Eastern Country cannot be underestimated…” Space Fox said with a chuckle

With this many 6th fusion rank mages, the most she could do is flee. There is no chance of winning but Space Fox didn’t show the slightest bit of worry

With a wave of her hand, a spatial portal appeared and from it, another mage appeared

This mage was wearing a brown aristocratic attire and he has a playful grin on his face. Unlike the other members of Twighlight Beast, he didn’t even bother covering his face with a mask

“Clay Doll Master!”

Indeed, that man is the feared Clay Doll Master. Fighting strength-wise, he was pretty average but his Clay Dolls were really annoying and hard to deal with

His presence causes the countenance of the Greenwood mages to change. However, since they still have the numerical advantage when it comes to top forces, they were only a bit apprehensive

However, the way that the Clay Doll Master stared at them brought an uncomfortable feeling to their hearts

“Everyone, how are your families?” Clay Doll Master asks in a playful way causing the Greenwood mages to frown

“Don’t fall for it! We have purged almost all the Clay Dolls already!” Bone Sage said and the other mages snapped back to reality

Indeed, as forces that have 6th fusion rank mages amongst them, their clans and organizations are the first ones that suffered from the ‘purge’ of Clay Dolls

After all, if a 6th fusion rank mage is a Clay Doll, once the military launch the raid, a presence of a single mage at that level could definitely change the tides of battle

The mages at the top of the secular world were about to make their move when the Clay Doll Master suddenly laughed loudly

“Hahahaha! Space Fox, do it!” With his signal, Space Fox cast the [Heaven’s Gate] spell and five spatial portals in total appeared

In every portal, several people emerged that stunned the 5 mages before their hearts burned with fury

“Terma, how dare you to collude with the Twighlight Beast after everything I have done for you! Give my younger brother back to me!” The female mage wearing a heavy metal armor titled Steel Goddess barked

Her face was completely red from extreme anger yet she didn’t dare make a move in fear of what might possibly happen to her unconscious younger brother that was in the hands of the woman named ‘Terma’

- “Terma? Hahaha, no! Surprise, she is a Clay Doll!”

With a click of the Clay Doll Master’s fingers, the woman named Terma undergoes a drastic change

Her human-like skin and appearance twisted and was replaced by a skin made entirely of clay

Terma is no more, she was replaced by a Clay Doll!

The other 4 mages were in similar situations. The people that are the most important to them were abducted by the Clay Dolls

“How could this be! We checked everyone!” General Bone Sage exclaimed incredulously causing the Clay Doll Master to laugh loudly again

“Hahahaha! Yes, yes, you did that! But who said that we can’t silently replace these people with Clay Dolls again?”

“I mean, for years, my Clay Dolls infiltrated your Greenwood City without any of you knowing. Don’t you think that it would be easy to replace these people with Clay Dolls after the purge? Besides, that strange treasure of yours was taken by us. Do you think that only you people are smart? Hahahaha!”

It all made sense. The military only checked the clans and organizations for a single time. After the purge, they trusted those forces again

However, who said that the Twighlight Beast can’t silently use Clay Dolls to infiltrate these clans again after the purge is over?

They managed to remain unnoticed for years and infiltrating for the second time is not hard especially after the Truth-seeking Rod was stolen!

If the forces of Greenwood City have brains and intellectual people, why can’t Twighlight Beasts be the same?

“Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, are you going to continue this futile attempt even at the cost of the lives of your loved ones, or should you retreat right this instance?” The Clay Doll Master said playfully

With the people important to them in the hands of the enemies, how could these mages dare fight?

All of their attention is focused on how to get their loved ones back!

“Here, take these!” The Clay Doll Master sent pieces of paper toward the five 6th fusion rank mages

“That’s the address that you have to go to if you want to take them back” he said with a chuckle before Space Fox sent the abducted people to who knows where

As soon as the spatial portals close, Space Fox’s figure swayed in the air. Earlier, she used large-scale magic that covered the sky of Greenwood City

After that, she uses spatial spells and he even sent the hostages far from Greenwood City

The larger the teleporting distance was, the higher the mana consumption would be. Even a mage as strong as Space Fox has to endure a heavy burden

“Curses! All of you are vile and despicable!” Bone Sage said through gritted teeth and the Clay Doll Master grinned at him

“Yes, we are vile and despicable but so what?” He retorted, further enraging the General

Unfortunately, no matter how enraged Bone Sage was, the tip of the scale is starting to move in favor of the Twighlight Beast

The five mages he thought would be a great help turned to look at each other before giving the General an apologetic look

“General, I apologize but I have to save my brother”

“I only have my wife and she gave me the best life I could ever have, I cannot let her die”

“I only have one grandson and I’ll fight even the Gods for him”

One by one, the 6th fusion rank mages gave their regrets. They too want to help and fight for their home but their loved ones are more important

With this situation, even Bone Sage cannot stop them. No matter what, 6th fusion rank mages are 6th fusion rank mages

Mages at this level are hard to kill. Even in a battle against someone at the same rank, they would most likely be able to flee

If they were displeased and lost everything they could lose, they might start a massacre from one area to another

Their destructive might is no joke. They were like walking nuclear bombs!

At times, the military can order and control these powerful beings but there is a limit to everything

Since it was the loved ones of these mages that were touched, stopping them from saving the people important to them would just cause a backlash

Not only would they not listen to Bone Sage, but they might also harbor resentment towards him

If they were unsuccessful in the rescue, they might just unleash their wrath on Bone Sage that tried to stop them
