Chapter 169 A Four-on-One Attack
A sudden and unexpected event occurred above the city of Nardu!
Space was like glass shattered by an invisible force, suddenly tearing open a hideous gap!
A stream of light so intense it was impossible to look directly at it, composed purely of highly condensed light energy and rapid spatial fluctuations.
With a sharp whistling sound that ripped through eardrums, it ruthlessly smashed through the dense, impenetrable curtain of darkness and negative energy that shrouded the city!
The "Light Shuttle"—the pinnacle creation of the Eternal Tower—like a sword of judgment, carrying an inviolable holiness and majesty, suddenly hovered directly above the Nar Palace, which had been completely reduced to scorched earth in purgatory!
Its intense light instantly dispelled the vast shadows and deathly mist below, and the scorching, pure radiance poured down like a tangible torrent.
The broken walls, charred corpses, and rampant blood below were illuminated by a stark, ghastly white light!
This light was not a warm salvation, but a raging fire with awe-inspiring divine power, as if it wanted to completely purify this utterly desecrated land!
The shuttle silently glided open, and six figures shrouded in dazzling silver-white light descended upon the world like gods tearing through the darkness, carrying a chilling killing intent and a resolute will to sever everything. They slowly landed in the center of the royal square, which had become the focus of death.
The leader was none other than Silian Nar, who wore streamlined silver-white armor, wielded the blazing sun staff "Dawn's Radiance," and whose face was shrouded in frost!
In her famously molten gold eyes, there was no longer a trace of hesitation or wavering, only a burning intensity...
A fury powerful enough to consume everything and a cold determination to execute absolute justice.
The five "Dawnblade" members behind her were equally imposing, with powerful fluctuations of light energy resonating and connecting among them.
This created a suffocating combined pressure, forming a sharp and irreconcilable confrontation with the dark and deathly atmosphere that permeated the entire city!
Sillian's gaze, sharp as the most razor blade, swept rapidly across the ruined palace, the horribly contorted and terrifying corpses of royal family members whose souls had clearly been drained, and the sporadic screams and malevolent fluctuations of dark energy still emanating from the city further away.
The air was thick with a nauseating stench of blood and burnt flesh, mixed with the lingering resentment and despair of a soul forcibly torn apart.
It made her stomach churn, but more than that, it sent a chill down her spine and an uncontrollable rage through her.
Despite having prepared herself for the worst, witnessing the horrific scene, comparable to the deepest abyss, and especially after confirming the identities of the mummified corpses, still far exceeded her tolerance level!
"You—you're asking for it!!!!"
Having already lost her beloved once, Sillian looked at the gruesome remains of her close relatives and felt a surge of overwhelming rage, enough to burn away reason, erupt from the deepest part of her heart and rush to the top of her head!
Looking at Sillian's body trembling slightly with extreme anger, and her eyes that seemed to be spitting fire, Layton Arthur simply gave her a contemptuous sneer.
"Are we courting death? Heh—"
He tilted his head, his tone full of mockery and cruelty.
"Then open your eyes wide and see clearly who will truly die today."
Upon hearing Layton's confident and sarcastic words, Sirian felt a sudden chill, and a strong sense of foreboding gripped her instantly!
However, before she could think about it or react, several cold, sticky, and maliciously powerful mental forces suddenly appeared from different directions like the strongest shackles, firmly locking him in!
"Hehe, I really didn't expect that! That little girl who fled like a stray dog because of the sacrifices of others could actually achieve what she has today."
A voice, tinged with a playful tone and a familiar air of "old friend," rang out.
Sori strolled leisurely out from the shadow of a half-collapsed, ornate building, watching her with an air of composure, as if he were enjoying a wonderful performance.
"So-ri!!!"
Upon seeing this face etched deep into her soul, the hatred in Sirian's eyes instantly reached its peak, and her overwhelming killing intent almost materialized!
This is the person! One of the masterminds behind the attack on her and her lover back then!
"Oh, you actually remember us? We're truly flattered!"
From another direction, Brown, arms crossed, emerged from the billowing dust like an iron tower, his massive frame resembling a ferocious grin.
"Stop wasting time talking to her, just deal with it quickly to avoid any further complications."
Finally, Labour appeared from the other side, looking impatient, with a sinister look in his eyes and an aura of danger emanating from him.
As these three appeared, heavy and orderly footsteps echoed from all directions!
A massive army of dark warriors—wolf-headed men, headless knights, shadow warriors—surged out like a tidal wave, completely surrounding the six people in the center of the square! A chilling killing intent mixed with dark energy formed a despairing encirclement.
"I never expected—you three cowardly rats, you really are from the Silent Forest!"
Sillian's gaze was like an ice spike, fiercely piercing the three of them.
"Speak! Who is behind all of this?!"
"Heh, this is not something a dying man like you is qualified to know."
Sean's pale figure appeared like a ghost on a broken archway at the highest point, his voice calm yet carrying the air of final judgment.
"The only thing you need to know now is that you—will die here. Today is the day the flames of light will be extinguished."
Four official wizards! And a menacing army of dark warriors lurking around them!
Sean couldn't think of any possibility that the other person had survived!
"Yeah?"
Sirian’s gaze swept over Sore, Brown, and Sean, the three direct participants in the incident years ago, her eyes overflowing with murderous intent and determination!
"Once I trample you all into the mud, you'll naturally kneel and beg to speak!"
Before she finished speaking, the immense magical power of light within Sirian erupted like a volcano!
Blazing white flames shot into the sky, enveloping her completely, making her look like a fire goddess descending to earth!
The "Radiance" staff in her hand burst forth with a dazzling light like the sun, its tip pointing straight ahead!
"Get out of here! Immediately! That's an order!"
Sillian's urgent voice instantly entered the minds of every member of "Dawn Blade" through the mental link!
at the same time!
"furious!!!"
Let me tear you to pieces!
Brown was completely enraged by her disdain and roared!
The bone spurs on his body bulged wildly, making a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound, and thick, ink-black dark energy covered his entire body like armor!
He was like a human battering ram, charging fiercely towards Sirian, who was engulfed in flames, with an aura that could crush everything!
Those members of "Dawn Blade" did not hesitate or delay at all!
They knew that the captain was trying to create an opportunity for them to evacuate and send a message, and they also understood that staying behind would not only be of no help, but would also distract her!
Just as the two destructive energies, the blazing white representing light and the filth representing darkness, were about to collide, they transformed into several streaks of light and rushed back into the hovering "light shuttle" whose hatch was not yet fully closed!
Sean watched indifferently as the light shuttle closed and began to rapidly recharge, a subtle smile of triumph even appearing on his lips.
He did not intervene, just as Sirian had predicted—he was eager for someone to escape and "report the news," to spread the word that "Bright Flame" had died here, at the hands of the dark wizard of the Silent Forest!
This is exactly the part that Lord Hick needs most in his plan!
The next moment—
"boom!!!!!!!"
Brown's violent charge, enveloped in dense dark energy, collided fiercely and solidly with the holy flames of light erupting from Silian's body!
The terrifying energy shockwave, like a real tsunami, burst out and spread wildly in a ring shape in all directions!
The hard stone slabs paving the square were lifted layer by layer and instantly turned into dust!
The charred corpses around them didn't even have time to utter a sound before they vaporized and disappeared!
Even the already dilapidated palace walls in the distance were shaken violently, collapsing in large areas, with countless rubble falling like raindrops!
The blinding light subsided slightly, and at the center of the collision, the fiery shield around Silian fluctuated violently and hummed, but her figure remained as steady as a rock, without retreating an inch!
The light at the tip of the "Radiant Dawn" staff in her hand became even more intense and dazzling due to the violent collision of energy, making her look like a true, awe-inspiring, and inviolable Valkyrie!
Brown, who initiated the collision, was forced to stagger back several steps by the recoil before he could barely regain his balance!
His arms, covered with hard bone spurs, were now charred black, with even fine, porcelain-like cracks appearing, and wisps of black smoke rising from them.
A look of disbelief flashed across his face, as if he had never expected the other party's power to be so pure and so domineering!
"Is that all you're capable of?"
A cold glint flashed in Sirian's molten gold eyes, giving him no chance to catch his breath!
He raised the "Radiance" staff high in his hand, the blazing sun gem at the top of the staff shining brightly!
"Holy Flame! Judgment!"
A condensed pillar of flame, seemingly made of liquid gold, instantly tore through space, carrying the absolute power to purify all filth in the world and judge all evil, and crashed down on Brown!
Brown's pupils contracted sharply, and he roared, pushing his dark energy to its limit. He crossed his arms and blocked in front of him, and dense dark energy surged out wildly, rapidly forming a huge skeletal shield covered with hideous spikes in front of him!
"boom--!"
The pillar of holy flame slammed heavily onto the skeletal shield!
Another deafening explosion rang out!
The seemingly sturdy skeletal shield trembled violently, its surface instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and its light flickered rapidly, clearly indicating that it was barely holding on!
"Attack together! Don't give her a chance to pick them off one by one!"
Sori let out a shriek, finally unable to remain a bystander any longer!
His figure blurred, and the dark energy at the core of his body suddenly erupted, completely enveloping his entire body like black flames!
His muscles bulged slightly, veins bulged, and his physical strength suddenly increased by several levels under the infusion of dark energy!
He exuded an extremely dangerous aura!
At the same time, Labour on the other side also snorted coldly, and the clothes on his right arm were instantly torn, revealing a dark...
The dragon scales, shimmering with metallic luster, quickly covered the entire arm, and a savage, ancient dragon's might emanated from that arm!
His aura also rose steadily, becoming incredibly terrifying!
Meanwhile, Sean, who was high up, remained standing in the same spot, but his pale, slender hands began to move rapidly, as if playing an invisible piano!
A series of strange, complex, and ominous dark runes flashed and combined rapidly in the air in front of him, clearly preparing some kind of more powerful and insidious binding or curse spell!
Faced with a sudden and intensified deadly siege from four powerful enemies from different directions, the pressure on Silian suddenly increased!
The holy flames surrounding her suddenly exploded outwards again, forming a rapidly spinning and expanding blazing ring of fire that forcefully shattered and annihilated the shadowy spikes that were quietly spreading beneath her feet!
At the same time, she slammed the "Radiance" staff into the ground!
"A mental barrier!"
A clear and resilient mental barrier rapidly rippled outwards from her center, barely managing to withstand Sean's silent yet extremely vicious mental attack!
But she couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, her face turning slightly pale for a moment. Clearly, dealing with attacks from multiple directions at the same time had taken a considerable toll on her!
One against four!
This includes unpredictable and cunning opponents like Sean, who is skilled in all sorts of underhanded tactics!
Even though she was the exceptionally talented and powerful "Bright Flame," she was instantly put at a complete disadvantage! The situation was extremely dangerous!
But her eyes showed no sign of retreat or fear; instead, they burned with an even more intense and resolute flame!
"Well done!"
She let out a sharp shout, her fighting spirit rising instead of falling, boiling like the sea!
"Today! Even if I burn my body to ashes, even if I shed my last drop of blood! I will burn you all to ashes!"
