End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1129
Chapter 1129: Tidal Wave
Everyone had thought that the Dark Night Phoenix’s pressure had previously been so formidable because of the low number of opponents, but after cooperating with the Beastmen, their overall strength was at least three times stronger than during their previous attack!
Yet, the Extraordinary Power released by the Dark Night Phoenix could still suppress them and all Heaven Rank powerhouses by 20%, and 40% for all Archmages!
Among the Beastmen, the eight Heaven Rank powerhouses all had grim expressions. Seven of them looked at Gallsworth, as Gold Beastmen had the greatest understanding of the Raging Flame Battlefield.
Before entering the Raging Flame Battlefield, they knew that there was a 2nd Rank Heaven Dark Night Phoenix here. Back then, the Heaven Rank Beastmen relied on the array to resist the Dark Night Phoenix.
In that fight, the strength of the Heaven Rank powerhouses had been reduced by 10% because of the Dark Night Phoenix’s aura, and the guardians of the array had barely managed to stop it.
But now, the pressure from the Dark Night Phoenix’s Extraordinary Power was spread over so many people, yet it could still weaken them by 20%!
This meant that if a Heaven Rank powerhouse fought on their own, their power would be suppressed by at least 50%!
A 1st Rank Heaven powerhouse wouldn’t last more than a minute with only half of their strength.
Gallsworth’s expression was unsightly.
This 2nd Rank Dark Night Phoenix’s wisdom was higher than before, and it was also stronger. It was at least twice as powerful as it was the last time the Raging Flame Beastmen entered the Raging Flame Battlefield.
‘If it attacks alongside the magic beasts, we might not be its opponent. We have to deal with these Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts and those few 1st Rank Heaven Beasts first…’
“Let’s retreat first. This Dark Night Phoenix’s aura is at least twice as powerful as it was the last time we encountered it. Let’s get rid of these stupid magic beasts first. We will get rid of the Dark Night Phoenix when it is the last one left!”
Gallsworth’s solemn words made everyone take a deep breath. The few Heaven Mages all looked shocked, and Lin Yun couldn’t help frowning.
‘Twice…’
It didn’t sound like much, but it was based on the original strength of this Dark Night Phoenix. Two times a hundred wasn’t much, but when it was two times a million or a trillion, the difference would rapidly reach the point where it would make people despair.
No one refuted Gallsworth’s words… They all started withdrawing while fighting. After moving two kilometers away, the Dark Night Phoenix’s pressure became negligible. A dozen Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts also died during the retreat.
Suddenly, the unmoving Dark Night Phoenix lifted its head and slowly stretched its wings. A burning hot aura slowly filled the air, and everyone felt as if flames were slowly ignited, creating a kind of heat evolving from the heart.
“Hurry up and get rid of these Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts and those Heaven Beasts! That Dark Night Phoenix is about to join the fight!”
Dedale, who was the most sensitive to fire aura, suddenly let out an urgent shout.
Berserk flames spurted out. Dedale controlled the three flame spheres and released his strongest flames. The three kinds of flames formed a storm that ruthlessly charged into those magic beasts emitting ice aura.
In an instant, the fourteen Heaven Rank powerhouses all released their most powerful attacks.
On the Beastman side, a faint golden Aura condensed into a large Aura Slash, blood-colored light shrank into Aura Needles covering the sky, and Abyssal power transformed into black smoke that formed demonic heads.
On the human side, spells of the fire, ice, wind, earth, light, and darkness elements all mixed together to form a berserk flood of destruction falling towards the remaining twenty Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts.
The flood of destruction kept flowing down. They stopped the hit and run tactic to burst with their strongest abilities.
The remaining Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts were submerged by the flood of destruction. They lost the support of the Dark Night Phoenix, and ten of them were rapidly killed.
The few Heaven Beasts left were besieged by a dozen Heaven Rank powerhouses, and it only took them a few seconds to turn these few Heaven Beasts into corpses.
In the array, the Dark Night Phoenix had unfolded its wings, but it still hadn’t left the array. It knew that if it left the array, trying to get it back wouldn’t be easy.
As its subordinates were all getting eliminated, the Dark Night Phoenix fully unfolded its wings in anger before fiercely flapping them.
Dark blue flames were raging on its wings, and they mixed with the gales to transform into an enormous dark blue tidal wave that whistled towards the human side.
The flames and gales burst into a power that could compare to a large scale Extraordinary Spell.
The Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts’ corpses strewn across the ground were like dead leaves blown away by the gales and flames.
Several colossal corpses flew into the air one after another, ignited by the flames. As the gales whistled past, these corpses seemed to be cleansed as they turned into a pile of fragments.
These ignited fragments transformed into piles of ashes, but the flames within the gales became even more berserk.
The several dozen Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts’ corpses turning to ashes left the onlookers tongue-tied.
That terrifying power was like a true elemental tidal wave. It was so big that it simply couldn’t be dodged.
This was a true disaster. It didn’t matter that it was only a few hundred meters in height. It would be the same if it were two-kilometers-tall, as dodging above it was useless.
The elemental tidal wave’s attack would devour all elements and assimilate them, and all the assimilated elemental power would become even more berserk.
This was especially true in the area impacted by the tidal wave. An elemental collapse would be formed, which would tear everything apart. Flight-type spells would be useless there.
Blocking it was their only option if they wanted to survive.
That was a true disaster that all lifeforms in all planes were afraid of. The Endless Sea became Noscent’s most dangerous region because elemental tidal waves were very common there.
If one was unlucky, they would meet one within a few days.
And the scene before their eyes was no different from a true elemental tidal wave.
The six Heaven powerhouses of the human side immediately landed on the ground and kept casting in order to defend themselves.
Dedale led the mages of the Burning Tower to cast shields that formed a huge flaming barrier.
Raphael led Sky City’s mages to use their floating fortress to form an array.
As for Lin Yun, he frowned and stood in the center of the mage army. The mage army started using their Joint Chant Array’s defensive barrier. And following their chant, Lin Yun started spitting out Law Runes into the flames.
The flames transformed into helixes forming a huge spiral maze. Anyone wanting to reach the center of the maze had to follow helix after helix and might need to cross several kilometers to reach the center.
Lin Yun was leading within the center of the helixes and calmly waited for the blazing tidal wave to appear.
On another side, the Beastmen were gathered together, their greatswords stabbed into the ground and their dazzling Aura shining. The Auras of the various tribes converged together and formed a huge Aura Dome that enveloped everyone.
After four seconds, the tidal wave of dark blue flames and gales whistled past.
The rocks, fragments, corpses, and everything else that was drawn in disappeared silently. This berserk power engulfed them, but no sound could be heard, no sound could spread. It was because the air had already been emptied and the mana had been devoured.
Silently, the Dark Night Phoenix’s tidal wave clashed with everyone’s defenses.
The Burning Tower’s flaming shield was rapidly infected. The crimson flames slowly became dark blue, and once that huge defensive shield was thoroughly assimilated, it would no longer be under the control of the Burning Tower’s mages.
Dedale summoned an elemental vortex that frantically spewed more elemental flames to replenish the huge shield’s flames. If their defensive shield was assimilated before the tidal wave passed, they would all be burnt to death.
Sky City’s array blossomed with a glaring radiance. It was like a steep slope stuck in the ground leading the gales and flames into the sky. Their array’s power had been roused to its limits. They even borrowed the power of their floating fortresses. It took less than three seconds for the mana source of one of the fortresses to be destroyed because of overload.
Meanwhile, Morgan summoned a darkness gate and led the power of the tidal wave’s flames and gales into the world of darkness. Roars could be heard coming from the gate, and the entrance was also covered in cracks as if it would collapse at any time.
Morgan kept taking out mana scrolls and potions before throwing them out one by one to reduce the pressure on the darkness gate.
Not far, Jouyi, with his Starry Sky Barrier, and Harren, with his Darkness Space, had a very hard time resisting. Their defenses seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
