Although they could tell from the messy battlefield below that the Tower of Dusk had also suffered a lot of losses in this battle, there was no trace of anger in Lin Li's tone and expression. It was not that Lin Li was magnanimous, but rather that his enemies were already like dead people to him, and he felt that there was nothing to be angry about.
"Is that mage Canuman from the Geresco Guild of Magic?" Basel, who was standing next to Lin Li, suddenly recognized Canuman from the image, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Isn't Canuman a councilor of the Supreme Council? Why is he here!?"
"Canuman?" Lin Li had almost forgotten about the guy who had yelled at him during the meeting of the Supreme Council, only to be thrown out of the venue by Arbitrator Apophis. Now that Basel had reminded him of Canuman, it was mostly because of the special name of Geresco City.
However, although Lin Li thought of Canuman, he didn't pay too much attention to him. He shook his head slightly, and said, "Who cares where he comes from? Since he dared to invade the Tower of Dusk, he'll die here."
Although Canuman had a rather high status in the Supreme Council, Lin Li didn't take it seriously at all. Not to mention the fact that Lin Li was the fourth arbitrator that the three arbitrators had promised him, he wouldn't let Canuman off easily even if he didn't have that identity.
Soon, Alan's voice sounded in the control room, and he reported to Lin Li that the mages had already taken their positions and were ready to enter the battle. There was a hint of excitement in Alan's voice. After all, it was the first time that he had really used the Sky Castle in a battle.
"Very well, start attacking." Lin Li glanced at the image of the battlefield, and calmly issued an order to Alan to attack.
At this moment, the entire battlefield below the Sky Castle had already been shrouded by the huge shadow. Canuman and the others were all staring at the sky with their mouths agape. Although they could not see what the top of the Sky Castle looked like, the bottom of the Sky Castle that looked like an inverted mountain reminded them of the legendary Sky Castle.
"Canuman, did the Supreme Council find out about this operation?" Sandos asked with a hint of panic in his tone, which was rare. He was not afraid of the Sky Castles. After all, the power of the Sky Castles only existed in legends. What he was afraid of were the three arbitrators above the Sky Castle. They were powerhouses at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, godlike figures who had survived the Dark Age.
"No." Canuman swallowed hard, and said to the crowd with a sullen expression, "It's not the Supreme Council, not the Sky Garden of the Supreme Council."
Canuman had been a member of the Supreme Council for many years. Although he was not very familiar with the Sky Garden of the Supreme Council, he at least had a deep impression of its appearance. Hence, he immediately determined that it was definitely not the Sky Garden of the Supreme Council through the inverted mountain-like bottom that was revealed in the sky.
However, if it wasn't the Sky Garden of the Supreme Council, where would the Sky Castles come from? Apart from the Sky Garden of the Supreme Council, there didn't seem to be any other force in Anril that had a Sky Castle.
Could it be …
Canuman suddenly did not dare to think about it. He still remembered the rumors about the president of the Tower of Dusk. Didn't they say that Felic had led his men to explore the Immortal King's Sky Castle? However, Felic and his men had been gone for three years, and there was no news from them at all. Many people thought that they had already died in the Sky Castle.
However, if the Sky Castle that suddenly appeared above their heads was not the Sky Garden of the Supreme Council, there seemed to be only one possibility left. Felic, who had disappeared for three years, had returned, and even controlled the Sky Castle of the Immortal King!
"It's not the Sky Garden? I heard that the president of the Tower of Dusk went missing because he went to explore the Sky Castle. Could it be that he's controlling the Sky Castle? " The blood elf's words were exactly what Canuman had thought. However, there was not much worry or fear in his tone, and instead, there was uncontrollable excitement.
"Canuman, look at how cowardly you are. You're so scared that your face has turned pale. Think about it, the Immortal King's Sky Castle isn't something that just anyone can control. Even if that kid named Felic has activated the Sky Castle, how much power can he exert? "the one-eyed dwarf Dante mocked in disdain after noticing Canuman's expression.
"You!" Canuman was immediately agitated, but after thinking about it, he suppressed the anger in his heart. Yes, the Sky Garden of the Supreme Council had undergone a large-scale transformation from the moment it was officially put into use. Only then did the Sky Garden truly become a Sky Castle for humans. Even if that kid Felic can activate the Sky Castle, what can he do in just three short years? How can he really exert the power of the Sky Castle?
At the thought of this, the fear in Canuman's heart immediately subsided, and his eyes glistened with greed. If he could obtain the Sky Castle and then take over the businesses of the Tower of Dusk, it probably wouldn't take long for his Guild of Magic to become the best Guild of Magic in the entire continent.
Of course, Canuman wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that he could contend with the Supreme Council just because he had a Sky Castle. However, there probably wouldn't be any force below the Supreme Council that could compare to him, who had a Sky Castle. Before anything else, Canuman had already labeled the Sky Castle as his.
As for the others, they didn't even need to look to know that they were all looking at the Sky Castle with glowing eyes. As the most powerful weapon of war in the history of Anril and the crystallization of the High Elves' civilization, there was probably no one who wouldn't desire to own it.
However, just as the people below were indulging in their fantasies, and even forgot to continue attacking the Tower of Dusk, the Sky Castle above their heads suddenly emitted meteors with gorgeous trails of light. There were nearly 100 meteors, each of which was emitting astonishing mana waves. They streaked across the sky and smashed towards Canuman and the others.
"Damn it, he's attacking us!" The one-eyed dwarf Dante spouted some nonsense and grabbed his giant ax in exasperation. He actually planned to resist the attack from the Sky Castle head-on.
However, the others were not as reckless as Dante. Everyone, including Canuman, only had one thought in mind, and that was to dodge. Although they did not know how powerful the attack of the Sky Castle was, they could guess that it was definitely not something that the Magical Crystal Cannons could compare to.
Indeed, putting the power of the Magical Crystal Cannons aside, the mana cannons of the Magical Crystal Cannons were straightforward, and they could dodge them easily. However, the attacks from the Sky Castle, those seemingly gorgeous meteors, seemed to have a life of their own. When the people below dodged, they automatically changed directions and continued to chase after them.
"Boom!"
The first to suffer was not the people who were fleeing, nor was it the one-eyed dwarf Dante who was hot-headed and wanted to fight head-on. Instead, it was Canuman's team of mages.
Although Canuman's Guild of Magic was named after the God of Mages Geresco, their team of mages did not inherit the Net Array that Geresco had created. Hence, the hundreds of mages, including many Legendary-mages, could not gather all their power for defense. Only the leader of the team of mages managed to cast the Magical Domain in time to protect the mages under him.
However, when the meteor bombarded the Magical Domain, the leader of the mages immediately regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would have fled by himself. However, there was no medicine for regret in reality. The meteor instantly shattered the Magical Domain, and landed in the middle of the mages.
Amidst the roar, a small sun rose in the middle of the mages, and the dazzling light instantly devoured everything around it. The mages who were shrouded by the light, be they Archmages or Legendary-mages, could not resist at all. Like snow under the sun, they began to melt rapidly from their hair to their flesh.
At this moment, Canuman and the other powerhouses who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm could not even take care of themselves. No matter how they sped up or changed their direction, the meteor behind them was still hot on their heels.
Soon, one of Canuman's subordinates, a level-23 Legendary-mage, was smashed on the back by a meteor that was hot on his heels. Before the Legendary-mage could struggle, another two, three, or even more meteors smashed towards him, and in the blink of an eye, the continuous burst of light engulfed him completely.
The one-eyed dwarf Dante, who was prepared to fight head-on, finally realized that something was amiss. He turned around and fled while dragging his giant axe. However, speed was not his forte in the first place, and his reaction was a beat slower. Hence, it was already too late for him to run. In the blink of an eye, the meteors smashed onto Dante's body one after another, leaving him with no chance to dodge at all.
The one-eyed dwarf's ability to devour the mana cannons had completely lost its effect at this moment. By the time the light of the meteors dissipated, he had completely disappeared from the scene, and even the sturdy giant axe had disappeared without a trace. A powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm and a dwarf warrior who had awakened his bloodline had been erased from Anril just like that.
The serpentine woman Vesha swayed her snake tail and quickly fled into the distance while the 24 totem poles around her continuously glowed. The shadows of the beasts on the totem poles leaped out of the totem poles and charged towards the meteors that were chasing after them. The disappearance of three beasts in a row was only in exchange for the destruction of one meteor. The totem poles that had lost the beasts also became dim, as if they had lost all their power.
However, there was more than one meteor chasing behind the serpentine woman Vesha. When there was only one totem pole beside her that was still glowing, she finally managed to block all the meteors that were chasing after her. However, even then, Vesha did not stop running away. There was only one thought in her mind, and that was to escape as far as possible.
Among all of them, the blood elf was in a good situation. With the help of the power of darkness and the speed of the elves, he managed to escape safely even though he was being chased by the meteors. Moreover, in the process of escaping, he kept summoning low-level demons and fallen devils from the abyss, letting those brainless guys block the meteor's pursuit for him.
As for the Necromancer Sandos, he initially wanted to try to get his Undead creatures to block the deadly meteors for him. However, as the meteors fell, the Undead creatures that he had summoned were soon wiped out. Even the vortex gate of the Tide of Death had been blasted away. How could he find any more Undead creatures?
Besides, Sandos could also feel that the light elements in the space were getting denser and denser with the meteors. It was almost catching up to the so-called Brilliance Auditorium. In this case, even if Sandos wasn't hit by the meteor, he would be in a much more dangerous situation than the others, let alone being summoned by the Undead creatures.
At the thought of this, Sandos gritted his teeth and took out a magic scroll while fleeing in a disheveled manner. With the activation of the magic scroll, a quaint door appeared out of thin air in front of Sandos. It was a rare Teleportation Scroll. Besides, judging from the solid appearance of the door, it had to be a high-level Legendary scroll that could probably teleport people thousands of kilometers away.
"I'm sorry, I'll take revenge for you in the future!" Santos murmured in a gloomy voice. He dared not to waste any more time and rushed into the quaint gate.
Seeing that Sandos had actually used the high-level Teleportation Scroll alone, the rest of them were filled with hatred. If Sandos had used it when everyone was together, the power of the high-level Teleportation Scroll would have been enough to allow everyone to leave this place. However, they were now being chased by the meteors, and could not make it to the portal in time.
"Trying to escape in front of me?"
Just as everyone was cursing Sandos in their hearts while fleeing, an indifferent voice suddenly came from the sky. Then, a crack suddenly appeared in midair. A very young mage walked out of the crack with a calm expression, holding a magic staff in one hand and Sandos, who had just chased after him, in the other.
"Felic! Hurry up and make these meteors stop. Do you know who you're attacking? Do you want to betray the Supreme Council!? " Canuman, who was in a sorry state, immediately hollered in exasperation when he saw Lin Li suddenly appear in midair. Of course, he knew that the hatred between him and the Tower of Dusk could no longer be resolved. However, as long as he could escape the calamity in front of him, he believed that he would not be punished too severely given his status in the Supreme Council.
