Chapter 1518 Chapter 1358: Madeline's Power
But now, Lars witnessed a scene that had twisted all his knowledge. The human who suddenly appeared forcibly distorted the [Tide of Destruction] which he had cast.
' Not only that, but she also used her strength to analyze it?!'
This can't go on!
Lars swiftly realized the source of the problem. As the leader of the 'Sinister Death' and a Necromancer, he immediately displayed his decisive side. He gritted his teeth and gazed at the surrounding that was engulfed in twisted flames and crumbling magical trajectories. Then, a sinister thought cropped up in his mind.
"Tch!"
Lars pointed at the young lady and the white bone staff in his hand instantly shattered. The raging wind of magic powers rose from the ground. However, not only did the surging flames burn stronger, but it also became much more dull. In the blink of an eye, the earth-shattering, blazing flames darkened. Then, countless dark beams emitted from within the flames and struck the illusory young lady!
"…!"
The azure young lady suddenly became pitch-black and dark. At the same time, the suppressed flames blazed even brighter, and only a dazzling, scarlet radiance was left before Simon's eyes.
Boom!
An explosion and flash ripped through the night sky. The soldiers going against the Undead Creatures on the city walls lifted their heads to see the situation.
"Argh…!"
''Cecilia!!!" Alice yelled.
Cough! Cough!
Perhaps woken up by Alice's scream, Cecilia opened her eyes and let out a few painful coughs. Alice saw a blue breeze spinning around Cecilia and in the blink of an eye, a dark aura emerged from her body and vanished into thin air.
"I was a little too careless.''
"I'm fine. It's just a little injury. Maggie can heal me up later."
Then, Cecilia's expression turned solemn out of a sudden. At this moment, a person swayed her way behind Alice. It was Madeline who had always been silent. She stood with her thick book and gazed quietly at Cecilia.
"Cecilia, all settled?"
Cecilia revealed a graceful smile to Madeline.
"That's right, Ms Madeline. My job is done here. The Undead Army has temporarily lost protection from the Necromancers. I guess our lord and Maggie won't let this chance slip. I shall leave the rest to you."
"You've had a long day…"
Madeline displayed a smile and turned around. Then, she stretched out her left hand and sent the signal.
"I will take over from here," Madeline said. "Cecilia succeeded."
Alex twitched his brows to the flares and rolling billows of smoke bursting into the sky. He lowered his gaze to the battlefield below. The Abominations were still advancing. Most of them had broken through the explosions of magic arrows and the flame wall and arrived at the city walls. Even though the soldiers had tried their best, they were only capable of slowing them down and couldn't stop them.
'I still need more soldiers.'
Alex shook his head. If it wasn't for Madeline, perhaps it would still be too challenging to gain victory with the soldiers. But now, he wasn't worried about the issue over at the Fortress anymore.
"Maggie, now's the chance!"
As Alex spoke, the wind direction changed.
The bone-piercing, chilly wind whistled. But, this time, it had a warm sensation within it like the faint scent of wild grass and soil. That used to be their eternal memory. In there, it was the history, battles, glory, and deaths that they had experienced.
That was the only thing in their world…
Madeline raised her left hand while holding a card. The icy moonlight sprinkled and shone upon it.
"The war on the prairie under the dark moon and sky has become dust in people's memories."
The young lady chanted softly and lifted her head.
In an instant, blustering gales blew.
The storm that was raised from the ground instantly swept the Undead Creatures off their feet. The soldiers on the city walls instantly shut their eyes and turned around to avoid the sudden gales. But, when they once again opened their eyes, they were astonished.
'Where are we?'
It was no longer the pitch-black sky and tall mountainous ranges presented before them. Instead, it was an endless prairie with exuberant grass dancing along the gentle breeze. A full moon hung high in the night sky. Its silver-whitish radiance generously illuminated the prairie and in an instant, the entire battlefield seemed to have frozen in place, with only the echoes of 'swishes' resounding under the night sky.
The Fortress was still erected firmly under them. However, they didn't know where they were exactly. They couldn't see the familiar mountain ranges or narrow valleys anymore. As far as their eyes could see, the boundless prairie stretched across the entire world and the Undead Army who had reached the foot of the city walls were seen trapped in a big, pit-like sunken hill. Not only that, but a river with surging waves and more than ten meters wide also flowed before it. Under the glistening moonlight, the splashing water sprinkled and reflected off the silver-whitish rays that appeared like gemstones before the soldiers.
Madeline's unique power, her domain. [Under the Night Sky]!
"This…"
Although even the experienced soldiers were stunned, they reacted swiftly. The towering city walls of the Fortress were now above the hill while the Undead Army was trapped below them as though they were prey that had fallen into a hunter's trap. Even though they didn't know how they came to this state, what else would they do if they didn't take action now?!
"Fire!"
The Undead Army had completely lost its formation and became a chaotic mess. The Abominations who led the pack and were responsible for being the meat shield had been trapped in the middle like the filling inside dumplings. Wrapping around them were the Death Knights, warhorses, and Skeleton Guards, followed by the scattered Necromancers. This shift in venue completely changed their formation and the Undead Army had entirely brought about their destruction.
After all, their previous formations were well-prepared. But now, they were squeezed together and couldn't budge at all. The Fortress had launched a new wave of attacks, which left them completely flustered. The Abominations had thick flesh and were unaffected by the exploding magic arrows, which they continued to advance in large strides. However, the Death Knights around them were less fortunate. Even though they weren't any weaker than the Abominations in strength, the ones with bigger body mass in such a narrow space were most advantageous. The Abominations pushed their way through and squeezed the Death Knights away. However, there was also a huge group of Skeleton Guards beside the Death Knights. Not only that, but the Skeleton Guards were also clad in thick, solid armor and they gathered like a city wall and blocked the Death Knights' attack unintentionally. Since the Death Knights couldn't possibly break through a path, all they could do was shield themselves from the descending flares and charge forward blindly.
The Death Knights forced their way through and pushed the Skeleton Guards aside. However, no matter how disciplined the Undead Army was, they couldn't possibly disperse and regroup after being trapped in this sunken hole. Therefore, they quickly fell into a complete mess.
The Necromancers by the outer circle had it worst. Previously, Cecilia had forcibly destroyed their strategic spell and even though Lars had also dealt a heavy blow to her at the final, critical juncture with his remaining strength, that was his remaining strength, after all, and most was reversed by her previously. The powers of 10 Necromancers had coalesced and as a result, the backlash from her dealt grave damage to them. At this moment, they couldn't even stand on their feet and were instantly bound up among the Skeleton Guards miserably.
"What exactly is…"
Lars pulled himself up. The spiritual powers flowed inside him wildly and brought about a piercing pain. Cecilia's strength had exceeded the peak Saint realm, but the magical resistance in her equipment was still too low, after all. On the other hand, her attack was still incredibly strong and he had a hard time against her. Lars widened his eyes and gazed at the prairie and hills before him in astonishment. He was sure that this wasn't the ice-cold land.
'Damn it… Where exactly is this ridiculous place?!'
Lars dwindled this thought in his head. Even though he wasn't strong enough to access certain information, he knew only powerful Demigods and the special one had access to something like this. Maybe a power that could forcibly send them to another dimension? Completely cutting them off from the real world?
Lars hypothesized and the result caused him to shudder.
Right now, he felt a shiver go down his chilled back. Lars felt chills all over as even his very soul trembled at this moment.
However, despite feeling this chill Lars didn't let his rationality be affected, he was the leader of this expedition. Having acted smug before that man, failure wouldn't be an option thus he had to act as quickly as that.
