Chapter 370


    A mage at the peak of Master Mage level, with a dark countenance and boiling with dark energy,


    charged recklessly like a berserk bear, destroying all buildings in his path—tanverns, inns, and


    homes—all reduced to rubble.


    Some Mages cried out wildly, unleashing torrential floods that rampaged through crowded streets,


    submerging homes and copsing towers. Others spewed mes tens of meters long, like thick


    serpents of fire thatid waste to the city. Some magesughed maniacally released pitch-ck


    poison, spreading it with fierce winds in all directions. The poison of his was a manifestation of


    magic, utterly terrifying. Nearby, some civilians hid in low buildings, only to be engulfed by the


    poison. They corroded instantly into charred remains without a chance for a scream.


    "Ha-ha, to the ughter, to the ughter!"

    They howled wantonly, and a burly man stomped the ground fiercely, sending seismic waves deep


    into the earth that triggered fractures and created an earthquake. The rumbling spread over


    kilometers of the city. As the ground cracked open, dust clouds billowed, and many structures were


    mercilessly swallowed.


    Inside the city, over two hundred thousand citizens huddled together, trembling with fear, too afraid


    to listen to the distant roars and cries. Children wept, women prayed, and despair and terror


    reigned.


    The skies above roared with ferocity, and Neasilis and his allies swiftly razed the outer city before


    descending upon the inner sanctum.


    "House Mallister! Surrender vin, or we willy waste to your entire city."


    "Where is vin? Will you stand idly by and watch your people die for you? Come out and face us!"


    "You cannot hold the Kings'' eptance. Hand it over!"


    They smashed through the four great gates of the inner city, storming in from all directions. Their


    actions were even more ruthless. Powerful Combat Magic was unleashed without restraint. Some


    conjured chilling tides, encasing the streets in ice. Others summoned zing infernos, setting


    buildings ame, and yet others ruptured the earth, sending stones flying chaotically, and


    deliberately causing destruction as they converged toward the city''s heart.


    Inside the city''s keep, Lucan and his guardians wore grim expressions as they defended the people


    of House Mallister. Without stepping outside, they could already imagine the chaos and felt the


    madness and dominance of their foes. The ancient city they had toiled to protect for months on end


    was now being cruelly vited and wantonly ravaged before their eyes.


    "Damnation!" Grima''s eyes zed with fury, itching to fight.


    "Save them. Uncle Lucan, you have to save them!" Oda pleaded, tugging at Lucan''s cloak.


    Lucan shook his head bitterly. “If I go to save them, who will protect you?”


    "So we can only watch them march to their deaths?" Oda''s face was streaked with tears, begging


    Lucan for action.


    Lucan''s heart bled, and his fists trembled. He had safeguarded over two hundred thousand souls for


    eight years, and now... he was forced to watch them march to their deaths.


    "Commander Jarad is here. What of E and the others of Bloodlore?" Grima''s heart twisted with


    difort; she had hoped E would bring many teams, but there was still no sign of them.


    "They might still be on the way," Celesse sighed softly. She didn’t expect Lord Viperbane and his


    forces to arrive so swiftly. They should have spread the newster, so more Bloodlore champions


    coulde to more security for the city.


    "Why hasn''t the Floral Enchantress Commander acted? What is she waiting for?" Helna awaited the


    Floral Enchantress Commander''s intervention, even just a sign of support.


    "She has her reasons to abstain, and her reasons to intervene. It''s up to her to decide," Mari


    gazed into the distance. Under the blood-red clouds, a pure, shimmering glow like a sacred


    sanctuary shone brightly yet elusively, with no indication of taking action.


    "Will no onee to our aid..." Oda murmured in despair. But just then, a series of chilling screams


    rose from the streets outside—hair-raising screams, yet not the sounds of ughter. They were


    eerily... strange...
