Chapter 513: Immolation (2)
"Green, hurry! The tunnel is ahead! Destroy the altar!" Suman’s voice came from ahead.
Some chilling wind blew the dust and stones pieces away, revealing the scene ahead.
Suman and Messiah were fighting against a dark snake man that over three meters tall. The snake man was surrounded by some red-purple light; it seemed like the light was released by an aura. There were human heads on the snake man’s arms. Each of the human head was releasing poison gas from their mouths—the scene was terrifying.
There was some distance between Angele, Suman, and Messiah. He checked the situation after hearing their voices.
There was a spacious dark hall in the front, its floor covered with countless snake men. Those snake men were all killed by just one hit.
There were also soldiers from the alliance that were lying on the ground. It seemed like there had been an intense battle here before Suman arrived.
*BAM BAM*
The last snake man charged at Angele but he was stopped by Messiah and Suman.
"I’ll go destroy the altar!" Angele shouted. "Becky, guard the entrance for me. It’ll take me some time before I can destroy the altar! Just do whatever you can!"
Becky did not say anything, she just walked to the entrance of the hall. Angele was controlling her body.
Angele’s body disappeared into a ball of flames and he teleported to the center of the hall.
*BAM BAM BAM*
Another tall snake man appeared on the other side of the hall; he noticed Angele’s presence immediately and charged at Angele while roaring. However, Becky hit the snake man’s head and he changed his direction. He hit the wall after several seconds.
In the center of the hall, the floor was covered with countless glowing red patterns. It was not a regular altar.
Angele stood on the red patterns and spread his arms. More than ten balls of flames were released and turned into lion men.
However, it seemed like he was not trying to destroy the altar. He just started drawing something on the ground.
Suman and Messiah were trying their best to stop the snake man, but they did not expect that Angele was not even trying to destroy the altar.
"Green! What are you doing! Destroy the altar! This is one of the altars they need, destroy it and we can stop the summoning!" Suman shouted.
Angele was still drawing runes on the ground like he did not hear anything.
Suman and Messiah would have destroyed the altar if they were not stopped by the snake man. They wondered what Angele was trying to do.
Suman realized that Angele was trying to do something else with the altar.
************************
On the area above the ancient city.
The war drums sounded like rumbling thunder. White and dark armies were fighting on the snow plain.
They were attacking each other using area spells, blue and red explosions were everywhere in the sky.
Beasts that looked like elephants were running around among the soldiers. Fireballs and ice shards were attacking those beasts like crazy. Some of the beasts were still charging at the enemies even though they were severely hurt.
The wizards were charging forward like warriors. No one was casting strong spells due to long incantations. Only the talent abilities and magic devices were working since they could be activated instantly.
Colorful energy particles were floating in the air, they were from the intense energy waves.
Reyline was riding an armored unicorn with a black hammer in his hand; he was wearing white armor, charging forward with the knights.
The intense noise made by the unicorns was the only thing he could hear.
The elephants were charging at the riders.
"Get ready!" The captain was giving the order.
The knights all raised their black war hammers.
"Ready!"
White glows appeared on the hammers, their intensity varied. It seemed like their power levels were different.
"Release!" the captain shouted.
Reyline roared and threw the war hammer at the elephant.
The war hammer was coated with a white glow; it was mixed in the rain of war hammers and flew at the elephant.
*BAM*
The earth shook with a loud noise. The elephant in the front fell to the ground, its body covered with blood holes that varied in size.
"One more down!" Reyline felt relieved, he turned around and retreated with the team. "I wonder if Sigma and Green are doing well in this chaos."
"Reyline, what are you thinking?" A wizard sent the words using energy particles. "Stay focused! There’s a war going on!"
"I know, Hank." Reyline calmed down and checked the surroundings carefully. They needed to make sure that they were not ambushed.
A team of riders in black armor was moving toward them. Those riders were well trained and there were flying creatures standing on their shoulders.
Reyline recognized them quickly, they were the Watchers from the Elemental Hand. They were the reason why Reyline chose to fight in this area.
"Watch out!" the captain suddenly shouted.
Reyline’s skull numbed; he had no time to check the situation, he just jumped off the horse.
*BAM*
A large ball of flames appeared in the center of the team, more than ten knights were swallowed by the flames and many knights were groaning.
The knights tried to put up energy barriers, but the barriers were broken through easily. They were screaming and rolling on the ground in flames.
Reyline quickly rushed to their base, but an ice ball landed right in front of him.
*BAM*
The ice ball exploded and blue ice shards splashed in all angles.
Reyline lay on the ground and dodged the ice shards. There were only several people alive in his team.
They had no time to think. They would be safe after they returned to the base.
Dark clouds covered the sky as thunder rumbled. The clouds turned into two vortexes that were attacking each other.
Countless white airships were flying over the plain and there was a golden bird’s shadow above the airships. The shadow blocked most of the lightning attacks.
The small airships were led by an enormous egg-shaped airship. A team of white robes was standing on the deck of the large airship and there was a golden birdcage on the railings. The bird in the cage was overlooking the battlefield quietly.
"The Dark Wizard Tower is not thinking about the consequences... Half of their wizards died in the battle and it’ll end here," the bird spoke in a deep tone.
A girl with long black hair stepped forward and said, "It’s not our fault; are you thinking about the next step, Prince Evil Dragon?"
"All the forces of the Mirror City are here and the mortal soldiers also joined the battle. There are millions of people here and there’s no going back."
A handsome man with hair that looked like burning fire nodded. "We can’t let the Dark Wizard Tower enter the dimension fissure and summon the Dream Lord. No one will be able to handle the power of an ancient wizard lord; I think this world will collapse."
"The energy waves here are so chaotic that no wizard can utilize his power. We need to gather everyone’s power and win the team fight. Vella, is everything prepared?" Prince Evil Dragon questioned.
An old female wizard nodded. "Everything is prepared. Vista is protecting Elder Vivian of the Elemental Hand. However, I don’t understand why we need to protect her in this critical period. Vivian is an elder of the Elemental Hand and she’s a strong wizard."
"I promised Green and I can’t tell you the details. I trust him and I’ll make it right," Prince Evil Dragon responded calmly. "The summoning ritual is almost ready. There are 200000 elite soldiers here, they’re ready to sacrifice themselves for us; we must complete our mission."
The white robes started checking the condition of their magic devices and all released different auras.
********************
"That’s it!" Angele stood up and looked at the runes he just drew with a smile on his face.
The light from the red runes was getting more and more intense. There were spinning red vortexes above the altar and he could hear souls screaming.
Something made the air sticky and it almost felt like there was blood in the air.
The snake men noticed that Angele was not going to destroy the altar, so they decided to focus on the armored wizards and Suman. The tunnel and the hall were filled up with random energy waves.
Becky walked to Angele and questioned, "What are you going to do?"
"Nothing." Angele smiled and rolled his left sleeve up. The stone armor decomposed and revealed the five red scorpion patterns.
"It shall begin..." Angele stabbed his fingers into his left arm.
*CHI*
He slowly pulled the skin with the scorpion patterns off his arm.
At the entrance of a tunnel ahead.
A man in a long white robe was releasing ice energy waves and spitting white tentacles out of his mouth. The white tentacles were trying to grab a snake man in front of him.
"It won’t work!" The snake man laughed and destroyed the ice tentacles using poison gas. "This is just a branch and we’re the weakest guardians. The summoning rituals are still going on in the other five branches. Only the main altar will complete the ritual. You have no chance to win! There are three Legion Commanders and the Duke guarding the major altar!"
The purple poison gas was fighting the white frost. It felt like there was an invisible barrier between the two, they were all having trouble winning the fight.
"The Prince, the Sky Lord, and the Mirror Lord are here. You’ll lose and you shall not conquer our world," the white robe shouted.
"The dimension movement is getting stronger! They’re summoning the lord!" The snake man was holding large blades in hand and charged toward the white robe at full speed.
**************************
Nightmare Realm. On the red plain.
The rocks on the plain were extremely hot and countless human-shaped creatures slowly stood up from the ground.
Some of the creatures had black wings on their backs. They flew into the sky quickly.
Several minutes later, those creatures covered the land and filled up the sky.
"Go now..." A loud voice echoed in the air. "Go now, my children..."
*CHI*
Countless cracks appeared on the ground, they looked like blinking eyes.
The creatures shouted and jumped into the cracks quickly.
