Chapter 799 264 - At The Border Pass Of The Atreterve Nation (Part 4)
An unknown female voice resounded over the border pass causing the black-haired marital artist to look around immediately as he couldn't properly pinpoint the location of the person calling out to him.
But then, there she was – on a slight terrain incline a few hundred feet into the Atreterve side - a black-haired woman with a jet-black crystal embedded in her forehead was struggling in the arms of a burly light magician trying to break free and rush at Zoemi.
A large artifact with green and jet-black crystals in its frame was shining and vibrating at their feet.
"ZOEMI~! ZOEMI! ZOOOO-EEEEEEE-MIIIIIII! I CAN FINALLY KILL YOUUUUUUU!"
"!!!"
The woman seemed to have lost her mind completely, focused solely on the stunned black-haired youngster.
There was no doubt... she was acting just like any monster possessed by Cherro – with the difference of her being able to articulate words properly...!
As if using the chance with Zoemi being lost for words, two more people appeared by the side of the frenzied woman and the light magician holding her back.
A thuggish-looking young man with brown hair with black strikes and a jet-black crystal embedded in his forehead, and an aloof-looking woman with long gold hair – also with black streaks – a jet-black-crystal in her forehead and a crystal of the light-magic-improving mana device pushing out of the disheveled shirt she was wearing.
"Tsk. She's seen him so she's done for – let her be the distraction, big guy."
"But..."
The aloof-looking woman took one glance at the struggling black-haired woman and tapped the shoulder of the burly light magician – who didn't seem too content with the suggestion.
*thump* *gyuuu~* "...?!"
Whatever was going on felt too dangerous to just leave it be – to regain the clarity of his mind and be as effective as possible, Zoemi silently released control over all the soldiers but at the exact moment as he was doing so he felt someone hugging him from behind.
Normally, he would have immediately shaken off whoever the person was but his nose was picking up the faint lingering smell of ozone and his confused mind assumed it must have been Miriette materializing – despite the height at which he was hugged didn't match the form in which the goddess would usually appear.
"Miri, not no... w...?"
"The situation is worse than at the Perserios border, but it can be salvaged, how about you ignore the people with jet-black crystals here, the ones at the Perserios border are much more important~"
When Zoemi turned around to look at whom he assumed was Miriette, he ended up looking at two jet-black mana crystals embedded into the eyesockets of a thin lightly dressed girl with intricate runes tattooed all over her body.
"..."
For a split second, the black-haired boy froze as if enchanted by the crystal eyes...
"HOW ABOUT YOU FUCK OFF?!"
*WHOOOSH*
He shouted, waving his arm to get rid of the creepy individual – but his swing ended up only producing a shockwave as it passed through the empty air when the girl with the mana crystals in place of eyes was pulled back by a dark-haired man with a jet-black crystal embedded in his forehead.
"YOU FUCKERS! HOW DID YOU EVEN SNEAK UP ON ME?!"
Zoemi roared, jumping away as the soldiers of the Atreterve nation freed from his law of Leo charged him with reckless abandon.
Without the control of the law of Leo the commoners ended back under the influence of the submission collars - to make matters worse, because of that they got back to their mission far sooner than the magicians from the Victureo forces which resulted in dozens of casualties...
"ASPY, HOW'RE THE REINFORCEMENTS?"
Zoemi gritted his teeth sending the gray-haired necromancer a message through the law of Pisces while using the law of Aquarius from a distance to exhaust the mana within the collars and the enchanted weapons the commoners were wielding to render them useless.
"Nevermind, get her away from here – let's not waste a chance that our pocket basilisk has created for us."
The aloof-looking woman straightened her back and said decisively – and the burly light magician didn't waste even a second, disappearing in a flash of light together with the frenzied black-haired woman.
"Alright. Let's put this in a safe spot and get the plan to the next stage. Burrow. Spire."
The thuggish-looking man with brown hair with black streaks breathed out and cast his spells.
The first one caused the humming magic device that controlled the submission collars to disappear into the soil within seconds while the other one forced the very same soil to pile up and shoot into the sky forming five massive pillars at a certain distance away from one another.
"Fu-huaaaah...! I'm spent, get me away from here and make the others finish the job."
"You and your minuscule mana reservoir. Lucky."
The thuggish man breathed out, slumping down to the ground and reaching out his hand to the aloof woman, who was clearly grumpy but teleported with him anyway.
"This will not work...!"
With the soldiers mixed up, it was difficult to keep them from killing each other even for Zoemi.
"SCREW IT! TAURUS!"
The black-haired young man ended up losing his temper and roared – the star power he activated was the one that at the supernova level let him control the element of earth.
*WHAM* *RUMBLE*
With that, he stomped the ground with his foot and an over two-hundred feet tall, dozen of feet wide, and tens upon tens of miles long wall was erected in an instant, cutting off the bulk of the Atreterve army.
"VIRGO!"
Having one problem out of the way he focused on the Roiso attribute he knew so well and directed the healing star power toward it. The law of Virgo suppressed the enchanted weapons and armor wielded by the controlled commoners, vastly reducing its corrosive power and making the situation more manageable for the mages who struggled to subdue and not kill the manaless soldiers unwillingly turned traitors who were yet to be pacified by Zoemi.
*WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*
"!!!"
Suddenly, a large shadow passed by, and a sudden gust of wind knocked everyone except Zoemi flat to the ground – when the black-haired young man looked up his eyes widened at the sight of a green dragon with disproportionally gigantic wings about to perch itself on the wall that he created.
