Chapter 597 Last resort: Suicide

Chapter 597 Last resort: Suicide

"Finally I have gotten strong hosts as my puppets." A psychotic grin was plastered on Verdigris' face as he examined the Angels that stood still, waiting for commands from their new master.

"Too bad I couldn't get the third one." He let out a sigh as he shook his head, not caring about the looks he was getting from his fellow members of the League.

'This guy needs to be locked up in an asylum, and only brought out for missions.' Although Xander considered himself a little bit crazy, he saw Verdigris as a full-blown psychotic patient when compared to him.

The same went for Seraphina and Slade. They were always wary of him whenever they moved with Verdigris, especially his mind-controlling parasites because they feared his mind could flip at any time and he might decide to turn on them for fun.

As for the Angels of the Synder empire, they were cautious enough to scan the power level of everybody in the camp when they attacked. However, thanks to Fernweave Assimilation spell that allowed him to merge into the body of a living organism to hide his presence, and the 3 members of the League in their line of sight. They didn't notice the hard-to-detect parasites in the air.

"You guys should stay here just in case they send another group to destroy the node." Verdigris instructed as he began merging with the Frostborne descendant.

"Where are you going to?" Seraphina couldn't help but ask.

"To cause some chaos." Verdigris grinned as his body completely merged with the deceased prevalent Angel.

"Good thing he is on our side." Slade let out a sigh of relief when the Arboreal reaper finally left the camp.

....

At the sky above the city, the situation was far from being the best for the Angels of the Synder empire.

Shortly after the fight had begun, Commander Ethan and his men realized that the main aim of the AquaTorrent conduit formation wasn't for the troops of Tigeria, but for their Angels!

The formation not only tripled the power of the water element, and halved that of the fire element, but it also provided large amounts of water, further boosting their advantage.

Commander Ethan had activated the active abilities of his sword and artefact that boost the power of the fire element, but the quantity of water under Sea lord Granick's control was just too much.

CLANG!

Ethan's Molten blade clashed with Granick's Aqua Crystal Staff, releasing terrifying waves of flame and water, that caused the Angels of both sides to shift their battles to another side.

"Why don't you just give up, your efforts are futile?" Granick had a grin plastered on his face as he taunted the battered commander.

"In the end, I will still die. So I have to make you work for your meal!" Commander Ethan said to Granick who looked as if he hadn't been fighting for the last 10 minutes.

The space of the entire area was locked down and coupled with the continuous healing that rendered all his efforts useless. Commander Ethan knew there was no way he was leaving here alive.

"A true warrior, I like that." As he acknowledged Ethan's bravery, streams of water began flowing into his body. His muscles began rapidly enlarging, and in a matter of seconds, he was thrice his original size.

"Too bad it won't make any difference." Granick withdrew his staff, before swinging it again with greater strength and speed.

BOOM!

Ethan was sent flying into the city's dome, causing a large web of cracks to form on the barrier's surface.

"Shit!" Ethan cursed as an agonizing pain from his shattered bones washed over his body.

However, just as he was getting up he saw a gigantic water dragon hurling toward him with a terrifying force.

Flame Jump!

Ethan was forced to warp multiple times to get out of the coverage of the water dragon's impact, but he soon realized that he was just a secondary target.

BOOM!

The water dragon crashed into the city barrier like a comet, further expanding the cracks in the barrier from a few meters to the entire barrier.

Fortunately, the barrier began healing itself causing the inhabitants of the city to let out a sigh of relief. However, their moment of respite was short-lived as the water dragon began spinning like a drill.

"Fuc..." Ethan didn't have enough time to curse as an Ice spear stabbed into his abdomen the moment he appeared.

"Did you think I forgot about you?" Granick chuckled as hundreds of water wheels were floating above him, aiming at Ethan.

"Fu*k you!" Ethan cursed as hundreds of constructs of destruction appeared in mid-air and began firing at the water wheels.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

For the umpteenth time in the battle, a sea of spells flew at each other but unlike before, the winner was clear.

The water spells overwhelmed the fire spells, drilling hundreds of holes in both Commander Ethan and the city barrier.

"One... more..." Ethan muttered with holes in all parts of his body as he cast Flame jump and appeared in the midst of Tigeria soldiers. Immediately, terrifying amounts of mana began gathering toward him.

"Going... out... with... a... bang!"

Just as he was about to explode, waves of water enveloped his body.

BOOM!

A muffled explosion that shook the ground went off but no one was harmed.

"Suicide is the last resort of all Pyromancers, too predictable." Sea lord Granick shook his head as he flew back into the air.

At that moment, the city barrier shattered like glass, leaving the wall's barrier that was taken down in seconds.

As for the Angels still in combat, Sea lord Granick quickly dispatched the rest making sure that they did not suffer any more loss.n//o.-v)-e(-l)-B-/I--n

With both barriers destroyed, the troops of Tigeria unleashed their spells on the enemies positioned outside the gate.

"Mission accomplished!" Granick smiled as his troops soon gained access to the city, and concluded ended the battle by taking control of The Square.
