Chapter 791 Final Battle Part 16

The Cloud Tower tore through the clouds, bringing more than just essential sunlight to the human warriors.

The Cloud Tower was a city of mages that the Mage Country had run for thousands of years already. The Cloud Tower was far more than just a symbolic existence. Once this mage tower city was lit up and blue mystical runes illuminated the entire sky, the world finally learned concretely why attacking the Mage Country had always been viewed as utmost foolishness.

Numerous mystical fireworks were ignited. Countless meteors then streaked through the sky after the magical formulas were completed.

Attack magic spells such as meteors, blizzards, chain lightning, and so on rained down like raindrops. Thousands of attack spells were cast with no chaos or confusion at all as every spell locked on to a target.

Simultaneously, various magical buff lights, magic armor, magic weapon enchantments, and so on suddenly appeared on the human army. The buffs included a wide array such as Chaos resistance, Strength buffs, Dexterity buffs, and so on. This was more than enough to transform kittens into tigers and cowards into heroes.

The wise mages made such a grand entrance for the first time ever. It felt as if they were extravagantly rich with no end to their wealth. They unhesitatingly used their magic power to cast all sorts of spells both known and unknown.

However, this was only the beginning, a prelude for clearing a safe area of distance.

A deafening amount of incantations were being muttered. There were ancient forest songs as well as curse languages filled with strange pronunciations. Several forbidden spell level magic sources were activated simultaneously. These forbidden spell level sources immediately created a new dead magic zone in the Elemental Tide.

This was both expected and unexpected. The mages chose to immediately act as elemental powered turrets and unhesitatingly began to prepare forbidden spell level attacks, forcing the enemy into a deathmatch battle.

The devils wouldn’t simply just wait for their deaths. The undead also regrouped under the command of Undead Lords while demons roared viciously and searched for new prey. Countless creatures of Chaos all formed into a black tide. They instinctively knew that they had to crush their enemy before the large AOE forbidden spells could be completed.

And so, the creature of Chaos needed to attack the Cloud Tower, which was a flying city that had countless archmages and mage towers…

Various fireworks exploded in the black tide. The creatures of Chaos would need to create a path of countless corpses to charge upon.

The mages showed what it meant to be incredibly direct. Their extremely direct fighting style obtained a tremendous advantage on the battlefield. All the mages’ spell attacks, mage towers, and archmages no longer needed to find individual targets on the battlefield, as the targets were voluntarily coming to them. The creatures of Chaos would never dare to retreat from this attack due to their commanders’ threats.

Maybe the mages had borrowed from Roland’s strategy for fighting against the demon wave back at the Moonwheel Capital Elven Empire, or maybe the Cloud Tower was suited for such a strategy to begin with. The mages instantly took the initiative on the battlefield right from their appearance. A floating fortress would be far more difficult to conquer than an airship, making such a fighting strategy even more shameless.

The mages had already gathered information regarding this battlefield. They had no intentions of joining in the fight against the Chaos Main Gods. Instead, they immediately started cleaning up the weaker enemies.

The devils and undead had already suffered tremendous losses from all the fighting. All these successive unexpected events created immense chaos on the batlefield. Due to the forbidden spells, some devils who didn’t want to try a forceful attack on the Cloud Tower actually started deserting. The moment that the first deserter appeared, well, Undead Lords and Demon Lords were no idiots, either. It was only natural that they would start thinking about what was best for themselves. Once deserting started happening in the Chaos Faction’s army on a large scale, the balance of the battle was instantly tipped in the humans’ favor.

The human army felt like they had truly seen the dawn after fighting such a long and bitter battle and paying such a great price. The Cloud Tower’s arrival represented the arrival of hope.

Sophocles’ eight-winged body flew swiftly towards the Cloud Tower as he unhesitatingly abandoned his current opponent.

Donatis and Barbarot were both too entangled to help out. Naturally, this meant that only Sophocles the Deceiver could improve the situation for the Chaos Faction in this battle.

I felt significantly less pressure due to Sophocles focusing his attention elsewhere. It was indeed rather difficult for me to deal with Sophocles who was now showing his real power. However, I would lose so much face if I allowed him to get away from me like this.

“Northlands.”

I wasn’t that skilled at flying at high speeds, but I only needed a single thought to summon my ice magic sword Northlands to create an ice arena that would restrict my enemy’s movements.

“…It’s an avalanche this time? Should I say that my luck is good?”

Countless amounts of snow gathered in the air and trasformed into a torrential avalanche of ice and snow. Nothing could be seen apart from furious waves of snow in my ice arena.

An avalanche was the most severe type of ice and snow calamity. However, my ice magic sword Northlands was still incomplete, so I would never rely on it to be able to kill or injure Sophocles. However, all this snow was quite suitable for… playing hide and seek.

I unhesitatingly entered the snow beneath the avalanche. Since I would win as long as I restricted Sophocles’ movements, I would properly use this battlefield to stall for time.

*Clang!!!*

The next second, I went numb all over due to a thunderous sound as my ice magic sword Northlands turned into dust in my hands.

I looked over to see that a large hole had been opened up in my ice arena from which snow was escaping from. Sophocles had directly broken through my ice arena restriction on him.

“…So this is an absolute difference in power level? I really do have the worst possible luck.”

Although I had already guessed that my incomplete ice magic sword Northlands would be unable to restrict Sophocles for very long, I still felt rather helpless at being forcefully broken through like this.

My own dimensional law had been shattered by brute force. This didn’t mean that my dimensional law was useless, but rather than Sophocles raw power had far exceeded the limits of my dimensional law.

Sophocles was already flying towards the Cloud Tower, while I actually stopped to reorganize my equipment. The Cloud Tower wouldn’t be easy to deal with at all. If I flew a bit slower and caught up when the Cloud Tower had begun to defend itself, perhaps I could even pincer Sophocles.

Um, this definitely wasn’t because I wanted to see the Mage Country’s secret aces or anything like that? Intentionally not giving it my all so that my enemy could find out my ally’s aces for me? Was I someone who was bad enough to do such a thing?

“…It’s not just you. Even I want to know just what aces the Cloud Tower possesses.”

The silly cat’s words sounded in my ears. But this time, her famiiar commenting came from her true body.

I raised my head to see her familiar appearance, although she was currently rather bloody and dusty. It seemed that flying here from the eastern battlefront hadn’t be very safe or fun.

“Things are going well on the eastern battlefront. The dragons are working hard, causing Sarwenstan to suffer significantly,” Harloys informed me.

“Let’s not worry about them. We need to get past this major obstacle first…”

I was really energized by her arrival, as she was yet another ace I could now use.

Still, the Cloud Tower was forced to reveal a new ace since we were simply watching Sophocles viciously charge the Cloud Tower.
