Just as the battle at Sora Outpost reached its climax, the Holy Assembly's team finally arrived at Elsen City, once known as the glory of the High Elves.
Although they were descendants of the High Elves, most of the books that recorded the events of that year had been destroyed in the long river of time after more than 700 years. However, it was obvious that the Holy Assembly was powerful. Not only could they measure the energy level of the Elsen barrier, but they were also prepared to deal with it.
Camilla was still standing at the front of the team. Elsen City was huge, even more than twice the size of Hollier City. The hemispherical "Time Stop Barrier" enveloped the ancient city. The falling snow paused on the surface of the barrier for a moment, and then quietly evaporated. This was also an important basis for Speck and the others to identify the edge of the barrier. Now, what they needed to do was to speed up the process of the barrier breaking.
The high-level existence of the Holy Assembly had obviously prepared a lot of powerful tools for Speck. Other than the crystal to measure the strength of the barrier, Speck also carried a disc-shaped stone tablet with countless complicated magic circles. At this time, the captain was inlaying a Magic crystal on the stone tablet. After confirming that the magic circle was activated, he looked up and said, "Camilla, go and put this on the edge of the barrier."
His expression was calm as if this was the right thing to do. But Camilla, whose face was full of fatigue, frowned deeply. The "bullying" she had suffered along the way had already filled her heart with anger, but she did not expect that such tolerance would actually lead to such a "worsening" result.
Everyone knew that Elsen City was extremely dangerous. The Holy Assembly had always regarded it as a "forbidden area" because many people who wanted to explore the mystery had never returned. But now, Speck actually wanted her to touch the barrier?
Who could guarantee what the consequences would be?
Camilla would never agree to such an obvious scam.
She was extremely disappointed. As an Arcanist, Camilla had never thought that she would be so indifferently treated as a sacrifice by her teammates!
"I refuse."
Camilla slowly exhaled, staring at Speck's arrogant face, and said firmly.
"This is the order of the Holy Assembly."
Speck's voice turned cold. The team members behind her also raised their gazes and looked at Camilla with slight ridicule.
"The Holy Assembly and you are two different things. You cannot represent the Holy Assembly's decision."
Camilla did not intend to waste any more time talking to him. She leaned against the tree trunk beside her and slowly squatted down. She simply closed her eyes and rested.
This kind of open defiance naturally made Speck furious — the Holy Congregation's orders were their will, and Camilla's behavior, if taken to the law, was enough to be labeled as "apostasy."
As the captain, Speck believed that her dignity could not be challenged. She took a step forward and was about to speak when she found that Camilla suddenly stood up …
"How dare you —"
"Something's wrong!"
Camilla's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. Her left hand pressed against her forehead as if she was enduring an indescribable pain. Her other hand waved weakly as if she wanted to say something. However, her entire body then fell forward powerlessly.
The rest of the team looked at each other in confusion — Camilla had asked some strange questions before, but now she suddenly fainted. What was going on?
"A coward who only knows how to escape —"
Speck couldn't help but curse out loud, but before she could finish, a sudden cracking sound made her shut her mouth!
"Boom!"
A thunderous sound came from above Elson. When everyone looked up, they could clearly see the edge of the nodules that began to crack from the top …
The next moment, the entire ground shook violently. The intensity was so great that Speck and the others were collectively thrown into the air, and then fell hard on the ground!
No one had seen such a scene before, but as the elites of the Holy Assembly, all the arcanists at present were extremely skilled in combat. Except for Camilla who had fainted, they immediately raised their hands and prepared to cast arcane spells to save themselves.
However, when they raised their hands, their expressions changed.
The elements … disappeared.
*****
Back at Sora's Outpost, at this moment, Roddy, who was holding the battle axe, and Zoro, who was holding the chain hammer, felt their hearts tighten — because they did not manage to disarm Belom, and instead let him successfully cast a spell.
"Prepare to be judged!"
Belom seemed to have vented his anger, and the broken runes on his longsword had already dissipated the energy. After the successful release of "Rune Cracking", his body was completely enveloped by an icy blue ice element …
Without hesitation, Roddy and Zoro attacked again, the battle axe and chain hammer smashing towards Belom — but this time, Belom took the initiative to cast a spell with his sword, and an ice shield more than half a meter thick suddenly appeared in front of him!
With two "crack" sounds, a large crack appeared on the shield, but it did not hurt Belom at all.
Belom moved freely, and with a raise of his hand, he broke the shield and dashed forward, swinging his sword to split the chain hammer in Zoro's hand, and kicked the tall Beastman's leg!
"Smack!"
The "Holy Shield" shattered like glass, and the metal boots made contact with Zoro's thigh. The instant the cold air spread, Zoro's expression immediately changed!
He grunted and rolled to the ground — because if he did not do so, he was afraid that his thigh would directly shatter!
"Rune Cracking" gave Belom an absolutely powerful "control" ability for a short period of time. This skill allowed him to instantly cast all ice spells within 30 seconds, and the price of casting it was a 20% reduction in attack power, and a 10% reduction in all attributes before the runes recovered.
This was one of Belom's strongest trump cards, and he did not intend to use it at all. But because of Roddy and Zoro's cooperation, he had no choice but to stop underestimating them.
While Belom attacked Zoro, Roddy immediately seized the opportunity to come behind him, and the giant axe in his hand slashed out a second time.
But Belom had already expected this — the ice element had already begun to condense into a new shield behind him, and he was ready to turn around and stab. Once his attack pierced through Roddy's body, he would immediately use "Ice Blast" to blast him into pieces …
At this moment, Roddy knew that he had miscalculated.
But the battle axe was far heavier than the flail, and under the huge inertia, there was no room for him to change his attack, and he could only smash down with all his might!
Belom's eyes revealed some satisfaction, but in the next moment, a soundless wave seemed to suddenly sweep through the entire world, causing something to quietly disintegrate at that moment —
"Bang!"
A loud crash rang out, and Belom took a few steps back in shock.
The "Ice Shield" quietly disintegrated, unable to stop the axe at all, and Belom took the full brunt of the blow!
But Belom's armor was too thick and sturdy, and Roddy's full strength strike only dented his back armor, not causing any fatal damage. But this situation immediately made Roddy feel that something was wrong with his body, and he found that his strength had instantly decreased by 30% to 40%!
His gaze swept across the [Status Bar], and all the divine buffs had disappeared, leaving only the red icon of "Witchcraft: Single Target Bloodlust" flashing.
What's going on?
Seeing that the elements around Belom had completely dissipated, and his sword suddenly dimmed, the experienced Roddy immediately realized a serious problem: magic was banned here!
Belom, who was trying to cast a spell, obviously knew this fact as well, and his expression instantly became extremely ugly. But before he could stabilize himself, the bare hammer in Zoro's hand whistled past his face. After the hammer's chain and head disappeared, the flail in Zoro's hand also lost its original power, and had completely turned into a black iron rod. But even if it was just a rod, it was still extremely powerful in Zoro's hands.
An explosive arrow shot past Belom's armor and hit the ground, but it did not explode. Obviously, it was also affected by the "magic ban". And it seemed that the only thing on the battlefield that was not affected was "Witchcraft".
At this point, the battle once again took a dramatic turn.
After the "magic ban" effect appeared without warning, Belom, who was originally prepared to turn the tables, was once again in trouble. Although Zoro was limping, his attacks were still very threatening, and Belom had no choice but to continuously dodge. And before Roddy could rejoin the battle, the earthquake that came a step too late completely disrupted everything.
"Boom!"
The earthquake caused the sentry tower to shake violently, and the soldiers on the walls and the top of the tower were instantly flung down. Zoro lost his balance and fell to the ground, and Belom realized that this was his only chance to escape, and he actually chose to run!
There was no one here who could stop a boss-level undead from leaving. Under the violent earthquake, Belom no longer cared about the so-called "noble" face, and with his physical advantage, he quickly escaped through the gap in the sentry tower and disappeared into the sky full of snow.
And when the greatest enemy disappeared, Roddy and Zoro, who were originally working together, immediately looked at each other.
Although there was a blood feud that could not be resolved, the two were both filled with fear of each other. In Roddy's eyes, Zoro, who had the blessing of "Witchcraft", was far more powerful than him, and Roddy now had no divine spells to support him or scrolls to help him, and he could not even lift the battle axe in his hand. If he directly rushed up to Zoro and fought with his life on the line, he would probably be instantly killed!
And Zoro knew very well that because he was limping, he had completely lost his mobility. Should he rush up and kill Roddy now? Zoro had such a thought, but then he discovered with great pain that the effect of "Ancestral Souls" would disappear in a few seconds!
Once this spell ended, the consequence would be that all his attributes would be reduced by 80%. Under such circumstances, even if Roddy took a rock, he could still smash himself to death!
After a moment of consideration, Zoro immediately ordered his remaining troops — "Retreat! Get out of here! "
As soon as the ground stopped shaking, he suddenly jumped on the nearest warg, and with his strong body and superb horsemanship, he rushed out of the gap in the wall not far away. He held Roddy's "Cranium Crusher" in his hand, and Roddy held his battle axe. The two old enemies had unknowingly exchanged weapons.
And at this time, the distance between the two was getting bigger and bigger.
