140 Chapter 140

Dominant Sky hasn’t forgotten the reason why she is in Greenwood City. For Claude’s sake, she has to protect Rezen. Not to mention, there were still the surviving civilians below

“[World of Tornadoes!]”

Dominant Sky created countless tornadoes in the sky again. If it was only her, the bronze shield might be able to barely protect her but if she wants to protect Greenwood City, the bronze shield alone is not enough!

She planned on using the tornadoes to cancel out the bloody lightning streaks. However, compared to before when a single tornado can cancel out a lightning streak, it takes two or three tornadoes to do the same

“[Wind Shield!]”

“[World of Tornadoes!]”

“[Wind Storm!]”

“[Wind Stream!]”

With the time that the bronze shield has bought for her, Dominant Sky casts one spell after another in hopes that it would be enough but…

Cracked! Bang!

The bronze shield shattered after enduring the monstrous power of the lightning streaks

The spells that Dominant Sky activated were breached one by one and she can only passively create a shield around her to protect her from the remaining lightning streaks

In another area of the sky above Greenwood City, several figures can be seen

These were General Bone Sage, Snow Fox, Clay Doll Master, and his three Clay Dolls

All of these people have varying injuries on their bodies with their clothes tattered

Despite the numerical advantage of the Twighlight Beast’s side, dealing with General Bone Sage still proved hard

An unparalleled mage is really an unparalleled mage!

The Clay Doll Master can only smile bitterly. If it was only him then even with the help of his Clay Dolls, Bone Sage can still kill him

In fact, if this goes on then all of them might die. On the Clay Doll Master’s body, patches of his skin have turned into dirty white bones

If the corruption were to continue to spread then he would surely fall

Snow Fox is just in a slightly better situation than him. There were also bone skin patches on her body but she prevented them from growing by freezing them

Despite the careful planning, taking down Greenwood City would end in a failure if they didn’t lure the other 6th fusion rank mages away

Suddenly, whether it be Bone Sage, Snow Fox, or Clay Doll Master, all of them were attracted by the intense magic fluctuations from afar

They all looked in the direction where Space Fox sacrifices herself

“S-sister…” Snow Fox muttered in a heartbroken tone. She knew what the phenomenon in the sky signifies

Her sister sacrificed herself for the cause of the Twighlight Beast!

She silently shed some tears before her eyes burned with resolve

“For Her Majesty the Serpentine Empress!” She shouted resolutely before her own curse mark was aroused

The enlarged snake curse mark moved into her face and her energy immediately went berserk

“Move!” Clay Doll Master roared and he brought his Clay Dolls with him to flee

Once Snow Fox sacrifices herself, even he wouldn’t be left unscathed!

“Damn it!”

The injured Bone Sage hurriedly move. His tattered [Bone Centipede Sword] also moved as he tried to attack Snow Fox but it was too late

“[Absolute Zero!]”

The world suddenly fell silent before all the mana near Snow Fox was stirred. The mana particles were frantically swallowed by the magic circle that she created

“Your Greenwood City will fall but us… we would return to the Serpentine Empress’s side!”

If the plan to take down Greenwood City failed then people like Space Fox and Snow Fox would die a miserable death

However, if they were to sacrifice themselves for the plan then they would ‘return’ to the Serpentine Empress’ side

Space Fox’s body cracked as if she was a stone statue before her body exploded and turned into a single snowflake

[Absolute Zero] is the same spell that she casts earlier. Florine that was still focusing on providing support by maintaining her [Great Eternal Forest] and [Healing Feast] spells to help the allies and hinder the enemies managed to block that spell

However, if Florine tries to repeat the same thing that she did earlier, she would ultimately fail in blocking this second [Absolute Zero] spell. That would even lead to her death

“Golden Bell!” General Bone Sage called out and a golden bell as tall as him suddenly appeared

This was his own Mystic Item at the same level as the bronze shield that Dominant Sky used

The golden bell and snowflake met each other. Almost instantly, a layer of ice starts to form on the golden bell as if it would turn into a popsicle soon

“[Skull Crushers]”

Bone Sage waved his hand and countless dirty white magic circles formed. From those magic circles, skulls suddenly came out

The skulls have a sharp set of teeth and they approached the snowflake. They tried to crush the snowflake with the help of their razor-like teeth but upon contact with the snowflake, they instantly turned into ice sculptures that soon shattered into icy specks of dust

Even then, Bone Sage continue and more and more skulls tried to crush the snowflake. Despite the skulls freezing and shattering into icy specks of dust, they still cause the energy inside the snowflake to constantly lessen. The energy was being chipped slowly but surely

However, this stalemate didn’t stay for long

Bang!

As soon as the golden bell was completely frozen in ice and shattered, nothing else can stop the snowflake anymore

Even if Bone Sage were to throw one spell another, aside from chipping away the snow flake’s energy, his spells didn’t do anything to slow it down

In the end, Bone Sage can only grit his teeth as he flew toward the snowflake

“[Extreme Bone Armor!]”

Bone Sage’s mystic gem floated in front of him as a dirty white magic circle formed below his feet

Slivers of dirty white energies flowed out of the magic circle that covered Bone Sage from head to toe

Soon, a bulky bone armor covered the entirety of his body. The armor was thicker than the diameter of three trees combined

This is the strongest defensive spell that Bone Sage knows and he uses it to protect himself as he tries to stop the snowflake

Unfortunately, the power that resulted in the sacrifice of the lifeforce along with the effect of the curse mark is not something that could be easily withstand

Even Bone Sage was soon covered with ice and his bulky figure fell down

Only then did the Clay Doll Master return along with his three Clay Dolls

As of right now, only the Fairy of the Forest remained from the 6th fusion rank mages protectors of the city

With her help, there were a lesser number of casualties, and many people managed to escape out of Greenwood City

However, that was also very taxing on her part. With the way that she is now, even an average 6th fusion rank mage like the Clay Doll Master can defeat her much less with the help of his three Clay Dolls

Without the protection of any 6th fusion rank mage, Greenwood City is destined to fall even if they have hundreds of 5th fusion rank mages

——

“Space Monarch, where do you think you are going?”

A man clad in a black robe with mysterious power covering his face can be seen

He didn’t give off a strong aura, in fact, he didn’t even exude any aura at all. It was as if he was simply part of the world like the air we all breath

Yet strangely enough, his presence would cause one’s senses to tingle in fright. No matter who faced him, they would feel as if this man is a predator

Even the most vicious beast would turn into a terrified kitty because of this man’s presence

Opposite him was an old man with all of his hair already turned gray. He was wearing a white mage robe and is giving off an impression of a noble sage

But the old man’s expression was that of utmost hatred. The fury that his body exudes was no laughing matter

“Shadow Snake, do you and your Twighlight Beast really want to be enemies with our Eastern Country?” The old man questioned

The man wearing a black mage robe is precisely the elder of Twighlight Beast, Shadow Snake! A 7th rank mage and naturally, as a person that could face him, the old man is also a 7th rank mage!

“Twighlight Beast is ready to step into the world and with Greenwood City’s geography, it is the perfect place for us to settle”

Greenwood City is a valley city surrounded by mountains and forests. Those mountains and forests are filled with magic beasts and magic beasts are one of the things that Twighlight Beast needed to create the werebeast nuclei

If they are going to annex a territory, no doubt that Greenwood City is one of the best choices
