End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1141
Chapter 1141: Cross
The old Gold Beastman slowly landed on the ground and started giving orders as if it was instinctive. But no matter whether it was Gallsworth or Beastmen from other tribes, they were all obediently lowering their heads and listening to this old Beastman’s orders.
“As you wish, Sir Cross.”
After Cross was done instructing the Beastmen, he immediately turned towards the humans and coldly looked at them as if they were a group of ants he could casually squish.
“Stupid humans, you are the origin of all disasters. How could this disaster befall the Raging Flame Plane if not for your shameful invasion? How could our fertile land become scorched earth?
“Humans are all damned!”
After saying that, Cross immediately extended his hand, and a thick, Extraordinary aura spread out as if it was tangible. The faint golden aura lights slowly blossomed, and the gentle light rapidly condensed into a gigantic golden hand.
The palm lines on the surface of Cross’ hand, as well as his scars, could be seen on the large hand. They seemed to have been magnified countless times.
The large hand slowly fell, but the huge pressure was already pressuring the eight human powerhouses and Lin Yun!
The earth around them had already caved in, and the ground beyond seemed to crack like glass. With Lin Yun’s power as a 9th Rank Archmage, it felt as if he was pressured into the bottom of the Endless Sea.
Every fingertip was pouring out huge pressure.
That slowly falling palm felt like he was humiliating them before getting rid of them. It made everyone slowly feel death descending.
Lin Yun’s complexion became unsightly and beet red. Law Runes kept surging one after another, and they spread over the surface of his body, resisting this space-freezing pressure.
This wasn’t an illusion; the surrounding space had already been frozen. Spatial magic scrolls couldn’t be used in this area, and Spatial Doors couldn’t be used either. Only power could withstand Cross’ power.
‘3rd Rank Heaven powerhouse!
‘No, the peak of the 3rd Rank… He is only a step away from the 4th Rank. He must have some understanding of the 4th Rank!
‘This kind of being is an unparalleled existence to any present Heaven Rank powerhouse. Resisting is simply impossible, and escaping is an extravagant hope.’
On the side, Dedale had already turned into fire, his flames almost on the verge of exploding. But those flames were pressed to Dedale’s body by the huge pressure. Only by bursting with all his power could be he able to escape that huge pressure.
Harren, Jouyi, Morgan, Arnaud, Raphael…
Their faces were all flushed, and they could only barely resist this pressure by using all their power.
As that huge palm grew bigger and bigger, the pressure they were withstanding also grew stronger and stronger.
No one expected Cross to make a move against the humans right after appearing. Furthermore, they were still in the middle of a crisis.
Most of the Beastmen were a little surprised, but they didn’t think that anything was wrong. Gallsworth opened his mouth, but he only sighed and didn’t say anything.
‘This is troublesome, Sir Cross actually appeared personally. I heard that he went underground a few decades ago to comprehend the laws in order to advance to the 4th Rank at all costs.
‘He hadn’t appeared for so many years, and even his aura couldn’t be felt, so everyone thought that he had already returned to the embrace of the earth. Who would have thought that he was still alive and merely a step away from the 4th Rank, able to break through at any moment?
‘Sir Cross fought with the humans for many years. His son had died at their hands, and he is definitely supporting the pro-war faction. Every time he saw humans, he would immediately get rid of them.
‘But if Sir Cross kills these human powerhouses, the alliance might thoroughly shatter. With the Beastmen alone, there is no way to defend against the Ancient God.’
Gallsworth wanted to persuade him, but he didn’t dare to say anything and really didn’t know what to do.
And on the side, Mutabla, the Heaven Rank Blood Bone Beastman, crossed his arms and sneered. The bones at his fingertips kept drilling out of his skin. This showed how excited he was.
‘That bunch of stupid humans will die! Especially that wretched Mafa Merlin.
‘That stupid Archmage isn’t even a Heaven Rank, yet he actually dares to keep troubling me. Isn’t he like an ant about to be squished by Sir Cross?
‘Sir Cross is the one who hates humans the most. He would even personally kill a High Mage. All humans are damned. Those were the words of Sir Cross.
‘Now, Sir Cross is only a step away from the 4th Rank of the Heaven realm, but his hatred hasn’t changed at all. That’s very good.
‘Die, die, stupid humans, all of you die here!
‘Since Sir Cross already returned, the disaster of the Raging Flame Plane will be handled by him! There is no need for the help of those humans.’
Just when everyone thought that the humans would all be killed, an equally powerful Extraordinary Aura suddenly appeared in the temple.
Endless rays of light appeared out of nowhere and instantly transformed into a huge palm. The entire temple was shrouded in that radiance, and it felt as if there were endless pious believers singing praises within those rays of light.
The holy eulogy seemed to come from the void, and firefly-like lights filled the entire sky. The entire world instantly regained its peace.
Only the two ethereal palms were silently colliding. Sounds had disappeared, and the air within several hundred meters was instantly sent flying up while the countless elements were rejected from this area.
A vacuum area was formed there, and even a hole in space was forming.
The Heaven Rank powerhouses pressured by Cross burst with magic power after being relieved of his pressure. It was like suns were burning in this hole. The only difference was that these burning suns had different colors.
Those firefly-like lights slowly fell into that hole and the boundless radiance was like a pair of gentle hands using a kind of unquestionable power to slowly pacify their erupting power.
Above their heads, the palm of light and the golden aura palm were silently clashing. Then, as if they were ice cubes under the scorching sun, the two palms slowly melted.
In less than three seconds, both of the palms disappeared.
Then, a cold and dissatisfied voice echoed.
“Cross, you think that one Ancient God isn’t enough to destroy the Raging Flame Plane? I haven’t seen you in a few decades, but it looks like you are still just as stupid!”
The light covering the sky rapidly converged and then transformed into a human shape made of light. The light slowly darkened, and a smiling middle-aged man with a white robe and meticulously combed hair appeared.
This newly appearing powerhouse was stepping on light, and his body was covered in a faint white halo. He looked gentle, like a pious believer of the holy light.
This person blocking Cross was obviously a 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouse.
Everyone could understand that only a Peak 3rd Rank powerhouse could merge their body into light to resist Cross’ power without a physical body.
Moreover, just like Cross, it seemed that he would be able to advance to the 4th Rank at any time!
Cross’ expression slightly changed before he coldly snorted, “Clombton, I really didn’t think that you would still be alive. I was only playing with these youths, there is no need to take it seriously.”
Apprehension flickered in Cross’ eyes, and he even took the initiative to give an unconvincing explanation.
Clombton was right… The Raging Flame Beastmen couldn’t bear to have more enemies.
The Ancient God had already plunged the Raging Flame Plane to the verge of collapse. The end was coming. Stopping that Ancient God was a very difficult matter, and the success rate was very low.
If they lost the help of the humans at this time and even made them hostile, there would only be one final outcome: The Raging Flame Plane would be thoroughly destroyed.
Clombton ignored Cross’ explanation and slowly walked down.
In an instant, nine lights touched the nine powerhouses and calmed their mana. A wisp of gentle power even calmed their agitated minds.
Their auras instantly returned to normal, and their minds also recovered to their peak forms. They were in high spirits as if they had just woken up from a good nap.
Clombton walked to the front of the human group and calmly looked at Cross.
“Cross, we are now cooperating to solve the problem of the Ancient God. If you still want to continue our war, that’s fine. I’ve haven’t seen you in a few decades… I want to see if you are still as weak and stupid as a rat.”
Cross had a calm face, but his complexion was ashen. A pale golden glow was flickering on the surface of his body, and his Aura couldn’t help but want to make a move.
As the pressure spread, the Beastmen behind Cross were suppressed and couldn’t say a word. Waves of Extraordinary Power coiled against each other and kept creating lightning. There were even hair-raising spatial tears appearing in the center.
At this time, a silvery-white radiance condensed in midair and transformed into a Spatial Door. Multiple human powerhouses walked out of it.
Seeing this scene, Cross’ expression quickly changed. He took a deep breath, and he stared at Clombton as if his gaze was a knife.
“Alright, Clombton, let’s settle the matter of the Ancient God first. We can fight later.”
Eight old Heaven Rank powerhouses suddenly arrived, including the Cloud Tower’s Butler, and the Black Tower’s Dubois.
With the eight new Heaven Rank powerhouses and Lin Yun, that made a total of seventeen Heaven Rank powerhouses, as well as a Peak 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouse, Clombton, for a total of eighteen.
Eighteen Heaven Rank powerhouses… This was the strongest power of the humans in the Raging Flame Plane. Moreover, they used their influence to transfer forces from other planes.
If not for the war entering its final phase, these Heaven Rank powerhouses wouldn’t have been transferred to the Raging Flame Plane.
With eighteen now, the human forces had twice as many Heaven powerhouses as there were Beastman Heaven powerhouses. If a fight broke out, there wouldn’t be a need for the Ancient God to destroy the Raging Flame Plane. If these two dozen Heaven powerhouses fought, it would leave the plane half-destroyed.
The negotiations officially started, with Clombton as the human representative, and Cross representing the Beastmen. They rapidly reached a consensus that they had to destroy the Holy Mountain.
The only trouble was the loot distribution if they successfully got rid of the Ancient God. How should they distribute the spoils of the battle after solving the Raging Flame Plane’s fate?
But this wasn’t something Lin Yun could suggest.
At this time, a few of the newly arrived Heaven Rank powerhouses coldly glared at Lin Yun.
The Black Tower’s Dubois didn’t say anything, but they were acquainted.
A Heaven Mage with a layer of sand floating all over his body and a mask made out of a layer of sand was staring at him, Endless Sand floating in front of him.
This person was obviously from the Quicksand Tower. He was hardly hiding his malice as he glared at Lin Yun.
There was another powerhouse coldly glaring at Lin Yun. His entire body and his robe were like shadows, and his gaze was filled with killing intent.
Lin Yun expressionlessly glanced at them and sneered.
The Shadow Tower’s mages were now building a palace in his Demiplane, while the mages of the Quicksand Tower were clearing a river path in his Demiplane. These guys couldn’t even dream of coming out for a very long time.
From the looks of the representatives from the Shadow Tower and the Quicksand Tower, they clearly weren’t planning on being polite. There were also a few Heaven Rank Beastmen on the side.
All of a sudden, a handful of Heaven Rank powerhouses had evil intentions towards him.
The only thing was that, for now, there were two powerhouses a step away from the 4th Rank in this meeting, so no one dared to say anything.
Cross, the former leader of the Gold Beastman Tribe, had been missing. But his performance in the war had left a deep impression on mankind… He was brutal and powerful.
As for Clombton, Lin Yun vaguely remembered that this was a powerhouse of the Cloud Tower who would leave huge achievements behind in the future. After three thousand years, Clombton would become a 9th Rank Heaven Mage.
