Chapter 148: Calamity
The Giants ran with a speed they had never possessed before, splitting apart and heading toward different sections of the city walls!
"Ruuuuun!"
The Centaur King shouted in panic, but unfortunately, he could not escape, nor could his subordinates or the Elves who were fighting him. One of the Giants quickly caught up with them and exploded right in their midst!
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
This explosion did not make much of a difference on the battlefield, and the Giants continued running as if nothing had happened. They soon reached the walls and....
BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM!
.
.
.
The explosions thundered one after another and spread across the entire wall, which extended for two hundred kilometers. Its stones were destroyed, and its walls collapsed one after another!
As soon as the walls fell, the Arrays began disappearing gradually, and some people took advantage of this opportunity!
"An opportunity!" The eyes of both the Falcon King and the Silent Queen lit up, and they quickly gathered whatever strength they could and shot toward the sky, fleeing!
"Don’t let her escape, she’ll get away!" Leonor shouted and asked her brother for help, but he grabbed her arm and shook his head.
"It’s useless. She’s faster than us in flight and can dodge far better than we can," Lanor said in a frustrated tone while watching the retreat of both the Falcon race and the Silent Crow race. He then frowned and looked toward the Royal Palace, where Rios was. "There are more important things we need to take care of!"
Lanor and Leonor were also preparing to retreat, and the ranks were regrouping, but at this moment, they heard the roar of a dragon coming from the sky!
Rrrrrrraaaaaaooooorrr!
A giant dragon made entirely of flames appeared and headed directly toward the Silent Queen and the Silent Crow race!
The flaming dragon burned dozens of members of the Silent Crow race just by flying past them and headed directly toward the Silent Queen!
Stillness!
The Silent Queen waved her scepter and attempted to affect the flaming dragon using the Law of Stillness, empowered by the scepter’s power, which multiplied its strength several times... but even this could not affect the dragon, and it grabbed the Silent Queen’s head with its flaming claw!
Aaaaaaaaaaaah!
The Silent Queen screamed with all her despair and pain, but within moments, she had been turned into ash!
The Falcon King’s body trembled from that scream, but he did not look behind him for even a moment. He flapped his wings harder than he ever had before, and soon disappeared into the horizon!
The flaming dragon gradually descended to the ground, and the flames that formed its body receded, revealing a person 2.8 meters tall from within them!
That person was an Elf with a muscular body covered in numerous tattoos depicting different animals. His crimson-red hair fluttered in the wind like a raging flame.
The Elf waved his hand with a smile toward Ayat and the twins. "Hello, relatives!"
Ayat and the twins narrowed their eyes and looked at each other, then looked at the strange Elf suspiciously. Lanor spoke while pointing his sword toward the stranger.
"Who are you, and what is your purpose in coming to the City of Light?"
"Move that thing away from my face, dear. I get scared easily," the strange Elf hugged himself and said mockingly, then waved his hand toward Lanor and pointed toward Rios’s direction. "Don’t be afraid, child. We are relatives, but from a little far away. Besides, this isn’t what you should be worrying about right now. You should be worrying about your king, because he doesn’t seem to be in a good position or condition!"
---
After the walls fell and the Arrays were destroyed, the gray aura accumulated around the roots that formed the Arrays, preventing them from recovering. This sent a severe backlash toward Rios and caused him injuries far more serious than those he already had!
At this moment, his body was covered in cracks everywhere, but that was not the only problem!
It was true that the Arrays had not been completely destroyed, and the roots were still present beneath the ground and transferring energy to him. He was also using Pulse of Life every moment to heal himself, but the real problem was his mental strength!
Monitoring this entire battlefield and controlling the Arrays consumed a tremendous amount of his mental strength, and controlling the Centaur spirits to fight the Titan Anar also consumed a great deal.
But the greatest amount of mental energy was being consumed by Abyss Tomb!
This technique was like a true abyss for mental strength. No matter how much you threw into it, it was never satisfied!
Rios was on the verge of collapse at this moment, and Abyss Tomb became weaker with every passing moment, to the point that the Titan Anar could clearly see everything happening to him!
The second problem was that he could no longer summon more Centaur spirits because of his lack of mental energy, and the Arrays were no longer supporting him with Soul Fragments!
KATCHA!
Anar swung his axe again and cut off the head of one of the Centaur spirits, reducing their number to six. When he saw that Abyss Tomb had begun weakening at an increasingly rapid rate, an ugly smile appeared on his face, and he laughed madly!
"Hahahahahaha! The time of your death has finally come!"
Anar charged toward one of the Centaur spirits at tremendous speed and grabbed it tightly. When he saw the other five spirits rush to save their companion, he smiled sinisterly!
"You’ve fallen into the trap!"
Anar took out a black disc he had obtained from the lord before setting out on his invasion. He would never have used it unless he was completely certain of his victory!
Crack!
Anar shattered the black disc, and an Array quickly emerged from it, surrounding him and the six Centaur spirits!
When Anar saw this, he smiled confidently and immediately exited the Array. When the Centaur spirits tried to follow him, they were prevented by the Array!
The Titan Anar stepped forward with arrogance and confidence toward Rios until he reached the edge of the range of Abyss Tomb, which had become noticeably weaker!
Star Arrow!
A giant Star Arrow shot toward Anar’s back at tremendous speed, attempting to prevent him from entering the range of Abyss Tomb!
"Tsk! Insect!"
Anar pointed toward the Star Arrow with one of his six hands, and a bone arrow surrounded by a gray aura emerged from it. It shot toward the Star Arrow, destroyed it, and continued toward Elena!
Elena, who was using Pulse of Life at this moment, dodged and quickly avoided the arrow. But when she returned her focus to Anar, she found that he had taken out another black disc and shattered it, causing another Array to appear and surround him and Rios!
"Show me now how you will survive me!"
