The silver sword sage used his sword aura to resist a level-eight spell. He was a little dizzy from being hit by the meteor. The sword aura in his body exploded on the surface of his skin, and a red shadow pounced and hugged him. It was the level-eight spell, Fire Puppet.
The temperature of a level-eight fire spell could melt metal. This hug directly broke the sword aura that the silver sword sage had just released. The silver sword sage felt that death was so close, and his mind was still a little dizzy. The sword in his hand instinctively surged, and he was no longer at ease.
The Fire Golem just hugged him tightly, and a sizzling sound could be heard. The Silver Sword Saint's sword light that could extinguish all life was moving about. The Fire Golem quickly shrank, and the Silver Sword Saint's skin was burned beyond recognition.
Under the intense pain, the silver sword sage roared like a magical beast. In the sky, Fayern continued to open the scroll, unmoved.
White light instantly lit up the night sky. Salin squinted and saw a light as thick as a bowl shoot out from the scroll, directly hitting the silver sword sage's head.
Destructive Aurora!
The level-eight spell didn't have any lock-on ability, but it accurately hit the silver sword sage's head. The Silver Sword Saint's half-bald head was no longer protected by the majestic Sword Qi. Half of his head melted away, and the rest of his head, including his mouth, disappeared.
Even now, the sword in the silver sword sage's hand was still like the sun, releasing golden sword aura.
The fire puppet and the boulder under its feet turned into dust in this final explosion. The magic formation around the boulder only resisted for a moment before disappearing.
With a bang, the silver sword sage's corpse fell from the sky. He had almost reached the threshold of leveling up with that last attack, but he couldn't understand the mysteries no matter how he lost half of his head.
The flying magical beast in the sky let out a strange cry and turned to run. Fayern didn't chase after it. Once the silver sword sage was dead, this magical beast would be free from now on. Besides, he couldn't fly this magical beast that was born with wind abilities. It wasn't worth wasting another level-eight scroll for this guy who was only a level-five or level-six.
"Let's go over and take a look," Salin said to Thinis, suppressing the excitement in his heart and running towards Fayern. This time, the black sword sage didn't attack at all. It was just Fayern alone, and he killed the silver sword sage with the power of the scroll. Byrne was also hidden in the darkness. The might of magic was revealed without any concealment.
Rex came out of the tent next to him. Neris tugged at Salin from behind. Salin stopped and looked back. Neris shook her head and whispered in Gumeer's language, "His soul has disappeared. He's not worth much to me."
Salin really wanted the corpse. Hearing what Neris said, he slowed down.
The [Aurora of Destruction] could actually destroy souls directly. Even though this was a spell that did not have a lock-on ability, its power was unheard of. Salin realized that every spell was balanced. If there was a flaw, it would be compensated in another way.
The [Aurora of Destruction] couldn't be locked on, it couldn't be cast instantly, and it couldn't be cast at the second level. The price of all this was that this spell had a huge destructive power.
In the past seven hundred years, the Glücos royal family had countless royal mages. In the process of their cultivation, these mages would create a large number of scrolls that could be stored for a long period of time. These scrolls were all spells of the seventh-tier and above. The rewards Emperor Qin Yin gave to Salin and the others were just something he did in passing. His true goal was to give Fayern a batch of high-grade scrolls so that he could have the fighting power of an 8th Rank High Mage.
The accumulation of an empire over hundreds of years was definitely not something a silver Sword Saint could resist. Salin even suspected that Rex had other tricks up his sleeves. Even if the opponent was a gold Sword Saint, he might not be able to escape. The ring on Rex's hand was very strange. He found it familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it in the book.
This was too strange. The memory spell had actually failed.
Rex looked at the corpse of the silver Sword Saint with a stern expression and gave the order word by word. "Go after those who are harassing us. Capture a few of them. I want a confession." Only then did the prepared cavalrymen rush out of the camp and chase south.
The sentries in the south had to monitor the main road. There were a hundred infantrymen and two Battle Mages, but they could only hold the enemy back temporarily.
Rex still had a lingering fear. If Fayern hadn't insisted on using the 8th Rank Scroll, the silver Sword Saint's attack from the sky might have killed him. The aura of that attack had already reached the peak of the silver Sword Saint. On the brink of death, it had even burst out with a golden sword aura.
If he wasn't prepared, the silver Sword Saint's attack would be hard to defend against.
Fayern landed from the sky. Activating the scroll repeatedly had consumed a lot of his mental strength. Moreover, he had used Figaro's magic formula to calculate the trajectory of the Aurora of Destruction for the last attack. Not only did it consume his mental strength, but it also exhausted his physical strength. Since he couldn't lock onto the Aurora of Destruction, he had to rely on the angle from which he unfolded the scroll to aim. If the Fire Puppets hadn't held onto the silver Sword Saint tightly, this slow attack wouldn't have worked.
"Princess." Salin came to the battlefield. He was also shocked to see the huge rock that the silver Sword Saint had turned into powder. Such an attack couldn't be blocked by normal magic. If he had eight to ten years, he would probably be able to calculate the weakness of this attack. The difference was too huge.
Rex nodded at Salin. The battle in the distance became more intense. The second team of cavalrymen had already left the camp. This time, they brought ten Battle Mages.
The corpse of the silver Sword Saint was carried over. Half of his head was gone, and the surface of his body had been burnt by the Fire Puppets. Only the dagger in his hand wasn't damaged at all.
Rex took the dagger and held it in his palm. The dagger was more than a foot long. It was completely white, but it didn't reflect light. It wasn't made of metal. Rex looked carefully for a while, but couldn't see anything from the dagger. It was a weapon without any markings.
Salin wasn't envious. This dagger could withstand the golden sword aura that the silver Sword Saint had released at the end. It was obviously of extremely high quality. However, he didn't have any assassins with him, so he couldn't use it at all. However, Rex had a scary guy with him. It seemed like this dagger was going to belong to him.
As expected, Rex casually threw the dagger into the darkness. The snow-white dagger disappeared, and Salin vaguely felt Byrne's aura flash by.
"Let me take care of this." Salin pointed at the corpse of the silver Sword Saint. Although it wasn't very useful, since Nelis had already eaten one, he shouldn't pretend to be a saint. He would let this become Nelis's food.
"Alright, it's yours." Rex didn't say anything else. He let Salin put the corpse into the demon ring.
"Thinis, do you know why this person took the risk to attack me?" The fear in Rex's heart faded, but he didn't forget to instruct his subordinates.
"He's already on the verge of a breakthrough. He needs a battle. You're also a great swordsman. You can't retreat on the path of swordsmanship." Rex was only one or two years older than Salin, but he spoke in a completely mature tone.
"Yes." Thinis remembered that he had reached the level of a high-level swordsman for some time, but he couldn't improve no matter what. Now, he suddenly understood that he hadn't encountered a real battle. It seemed like he needed to find a would-be sword saint to hone himself.
The sounds of fighting in the distance were getting closer. The two reinforcements couldn't stop the enemy's attack. Thinis frowned, and said, "Princess, I'll go."
Rex nodded, and said, "Bring the heavy cavalry."
Salin was a little surprised. The silver Sword Saint was dead, but the enemy didn't retreat but advanced. This was probably not a good sign. Could it be that they had other tricks up their sleeves? Thinis led the soldiers from Kushui County and quickly left the camp. Only the royal swordsmen and some auxiliary soldiers were left in the camp.
Fayern suddenly took out a canteen and drank a few mouthfuls of magic liquid. He said to Rex, "Something's wrong. Someone's coming …"
Before he finished speaking, the sky suddenly lit up, and a sun seemed to appear above the camp. In the dazzling light, three figures floated in the air with a sacred and inviolable aura.
Salin took two steps back, and the three figures gradually became clear. One of them was Deacon Picasso, whom he had seen in the Chaos Swamp. With Fayern around, Salin wasn't afraid of Picasso's appearance, but now Picasso was standing respectfully at the side. The person in the middle was obviously of a much higher level than Picasso.
In the sacred light, the young man in the middle had a surprised expression. He said, "Slam is dead? That's really fast. Rex, did you do it? "
His voice was abnormally deep and spread clearly throughout the camp. The light in the sky grew stronger, and the soldiers couldn't even open their eyes. Only the swordsmen and mages could barely see his appearance.
"Who are you?" Rex's expression was abnormally gloomy. This person is so strong. I feel like I saw my uncle Sephiroth. Sephiroth was a Gold Sword Saint, and he was also the most likely person to become a legendary Sword Saint in the history of the Glücos Family. This guy who called my name directly and that annoying aura was definitely the Holy Light of the Holy Church.
"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Jenaris. You must have heard of this name before, young princess."
"You …"
Princess Rex was both shocked and angry. She was shocked because she had heard of Genis before. He was one of the seven messengers of the Holy Church, and he had the power of a god. She was angry because this messenger actually entered the territory of Qin Yin. It was a clear sign that the Holy War had already begun, but the Holy Church didn't issue any orders.
Genis didn't care about Rex's feelings. He said to himself, "If I knew you had so many tricks up your sleeve, Rex, I would have sent more idiots from the Cardinal Institute here. If more people from the Cardinal Institute died, the Pope wouldn't be so indecisive. After I capture you and kill your emperor, I think the Pope should have made up his mind, right? "
The four Black Iron Sword Saints behind Rex rushed into the sky without warning. With black sword energies, they pounced at Genis who was boasting shamelessly. The four of them knew that they were no match for him. This attack was only to buy time for Fayern so that he could use the magic scroll.
