Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 585 Intruder

Lola's worry wasn't for nothing.

The previous attack in Vera City had completely woken her up about the real situations in a war. Before, she only believes that battling against other organizations would be against a stronger Grand Magus or a higher number of Celestial Beings.

It can also be by having better and stronger Magic Tools or a collection of Artifacts.

However, after the appearance of Mana Cannons, Flying Warships, and many forbidden techniques, she realized that she has to adapt… The most she could do was to develop her Formation Arts and advance them to a higher level.

She indeed succeeded in doing this but she hadn't tried pitting it against a collapsing monstrosity yet…

Right now, she was about to witness this as she saw the two flying warships decisively descending on their city!

"I won't let you succeed!" Lola shouted as she pulled out two Formation Cores.

Soon, the Mage Tower's cannon was fully charged and fired a pillar of light stronger than the combined attack of the Grand Magus just now.

The pillar of light was accompanied by a scorching heat aiming to melt the warship!

Lola was intending to use it against the Avatar if it ever appeared in her city. However, she had no other choice but to use it now and destroy the suicidal members of the Black Magic Organization.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Magic Tower's cannon successfully shot one of the warships and triggered several explosions inside…

However, it can be noticed that the cannon didn't pierce through the warship at all. At most, it only damaged a quarter of it!

It was incredibly tough.

Nevertheless, Lola believes that it's due to the elevated angle and distance that's why it didn't deal the damage she was expecting.

At this time, the Mage Tower's cannon has to recharge and it will normally take 5 minutes if they want to fire again. If they want a full-power shot, however, it has to be 20 minutes.

'Good… The angle of descent was changed… As for the other one…' Lola looked seriously at the descending warship... She could tell that the warship has several bombs or explosives stored inside…

Once it dropped, it wouldn't just be a normal crash but an explosion in her city!

"Hmmph! Let's see what you got!"

Lola shouted as she controlled her two strongest Formation Arts to stop the crashing warship…

***

While Lola was busy doing this, the soldiers on the city wall weren't idling at all.

The Magic Knights and the Magicians were observing the descending groups of enemies as they know that once the barrier protecting them was destroyed, these people would charge in from all sides!

It will be an all-out battle so they can't be too careless…

Yvette is included in the east wall's defense and was holding the River Dragon's Magic Protection Scale all the time.

Her squad of three Adept Mages and ten Arch Knights were looking at the Martial Artists that are waiting on top of a nearby hill. They couldn't see the Paragons nor the 10 Celestials that were reported but they know that they should be here somewhere.

'When are you going to make your move? The Black Magic Organization will be annihilated at this rate…' Yvette said in her mind as she glanced at the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, the destruction of the second warship occurred and crashed on the barrier… The barrier trembled for a long time as its powers were slowly being consumed.

Perhaps, hundreds of thousands of Mana Crystals had been consumed by now.

Nevertheless, Yvette noticed that Lola has really prepared for this moment.

Yvette was expecting an order to retreat after the two warships decided to just ram themselves to the barrier.

However, Lola used a Formation Art to halt the movement of the warships or at least, stop their momentum! The Formation Art only lasted for 5 or so seconds but it was enough!

With the loss of momentum, the direction of their fall had changed!

"The barrier has weakened! Destroy all the pieces of debris that will crash into the barrier so it holds out for a bit longer!

With this instruction from Brycen, everyone on top of the wall started releasing their Mana Arts to protect the barrier.

'As expected… We expended too many Mana Crystals… The barrier won't last for long.' Yvette mused as she also realized that it was better to just use the barrier to stop the bombardment and not the incoming enemies.

It's better to use the Mana Crystals for charging up their Mana Cannons.

Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions followed as the warships were finally destroyed outside the city…

With the combined efforts of all the Grand Magus in the city including Lola's Original Formation Arts, they were able to survive the predicament…

Whom~~

After clearing up the debris, the barrier finally dissipated leaving them open to any type of attack… Nevertheless, no one was nervous.

Without those warships, they will have an air superiority once their reinforcement arrives.

"Hahaha! We survived that!"

"Those steel warships are just for show! They actually decided to ram it after expending all their cannon balls. What a bunch of idiots."

"Indeed. It's a waste of resources…"

"Yes… It was quite weird… They were so desperate to remove the barrier…"

Shwing!

As the people were lamenting about the wasted warships, a gleam of swords suddenly blinded a group of people on the southern side of the wall.

Without being able to make a sound, four heads suddenly flew up as they were separated from their bodies!

A gush of blood followed this event as everyone was frightened by the sudden change in the flow of battle.

"Where did it come from?!"

Without being noticed, a lone warrior has gone close to them. Someone managed to climb up the wall as soon as the barrier was lifted!

"Enemy!"

"The defense has been breached!"

"He's alone! Kill him!"

The intruder hear their cries and instead of panicking, he even laughed at them as he waved his twin blades…

One of the Paragons has entered the Nidite City!
