Dark Gravity was superimposed on Zola, and he resisted it with his powerful sword aura. The building itself was like a deformed magic tower. Although it wasn't as effective as a magic chariot, it was engraved with dozens of offensive magic arrays and was quite powerful.
If the mages in the house fought normally, even a few would be able to cause great damage to Bifano's army. Rex's mages couldn't control everything.
But these mages hid in the house and controlled the gargoyles to attack. The strongest few level-four mages hid within the Dark Shield to defend.
But within the level-seven Dark Shield, these level-four mages couldn't cast any spells themselves. They could only control the magic arrays to attack. Once the Dark Shield couldn't kill the enemy, they could only watch as the enemy killed them.
This was what it meant to be caught in one's own trap. Zola slowly lifted his longsword. The sword aura pulsed and slowly pierced into the chest of the mage in front of him. He could see the bones now. The longsword pierced through the bones and into the heart without any obstruction.
Zola had never thought it would be so easy to kill a mage.
Rex opened another scroll. This time, it was a light-type spell — Flash. With three dead mages, the Dark Shield could only rely on the inertia of the magic array. It couldn't attack Rex and Zola anymore. The low-level spell, Flash, immediately caused chaos in the core of the magic array.
Crack …
A crack appeared on the stone floor under their feet. The magic array that Zola's longsword couldn't destroy cracked on its own.
No light-type spell had ever been released in the core of dark magic. The elemental conflict was so intense that even Rex didn't expect it. She immediately retreated and pulled Zola along. Zola followed Rex to the side of the bed. Rex jumped out without looking back. Zola followed behind and somersaulted down.
"Oh no, it's going to explode!" Salin could already see that something was wrong. The top of the building creaked and swayed. A terrifying aura leaked out. The horses that were pulling it collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
There were at least hundreds of gargoyles in the sky, and they all fell to the ground.
Salin threw the construct puppets out of the chariot and cut off the shaft. Two construct puppets pulled the chariots and fled east with all their might. Salin opened two scrolls consecutively. They were the Water Shield he'd created. The two Water Ripple Shields were so huge that they enveloped the two magic chariots in the bubbles.
Rex flew east in the air, not forgetting to cast a Wind Speed spell on Zola. Zola landed from a height of more than twenty meters and floated up like a balloon. The surface of his body was already wrapped in a layer of air current. Seeing that Salin and Rex were both fleeing, how would he dare to stay here?
Zola's speed was not slow in the first place. After casting the Custom Spell, he fled a distance of more than a thousand meters in a flash and only stopped when he was almost at the edge of the castle.
Bifano's face was deathly pale as he urged his horse to gallop. He followed behind Salin's chariot, but the chariot actually left him further and further behind.
Less than three hundred of Bifano's bodyguards ran out, and two hundred of them were still fighting in the center of the castle. The building trembled a few times before exploding without any suspense. The ground began to tremble, and countless gravel flew into the air, wanting to splash in all directions. Bifano couldn't help but curse. His body leaned on the horse's back and he didn't dare to raise his head.
The intense air current blew away everything near the building, and the roofs of the houses nearby were all blown away. Half of the six-story building disappeared, as if countless catapults had been launched at the same time. The gravel flew in all directions in the center of the castle with whistling sounds.
The intense air current formed an empty space with a diameter of five hundred meters. None of the soldiers who were fighting there survived. Many soldiers in the distance were also crushed to death by the gravel.
Bifano kept cursing, but he didn't know who he was cursing at. He didn't dare to curse at Rex. This disaster was caused by Rex. He finally knew how terrifying Mages were. Not only were they terrifying, but they were also very troublesome.
This explosion directly collapsed the defense of the stone statue castle. Duke Wenna could no longer organize a decent counterattack. But at the same time, Bifano's subordinates were also killed, and even more of the mutinous soldiers died. More than two hundred of his bodyguards died. Bifano's heart was bleeding, but he couldn't say anything wrong about Rex.
This was a battle, and there was always the risk of death. At least, Salin escaped with the men of sacrifice who were protecting the chariots. Many of them had been wounded by the siege of the gargoyles, but because Salin was smart enough, only three of them were killed by the huge rocks. The rest were all wounded, but they all escaped.
The smarter soldiers simply hid behind the walls to avoid being killed by the falling rocks. Several huge rocks fell on the magic chariots, but they were bounced off by the bubbles.
Those rocks weren't magic spells that pursued them, so the Water Pattern Shield was perfect for defending against them.
Rex was flying in the sky at an extremely fast speed. She had already flown more than 500 meters. She looked down and saw that there was a huge empty space in the middle of the stone statue castle. The chaotic elements had already become an elemental storm, brewing for the next eruption.
What an amazing reaction. A powerful dark spell released at the center of the magic circle would become like this as long as the spell was released successfully.
Rex thought for a moment and realized what was going on. This kind of thing wasn't easy to happen, because in the center of the dark spell, all the other elements would be canceled out. But she had the magic robe made by Joey and the Shenluo Ring, which formed a relatively independent elemental space, which was why she could release the light spell.
Otherwise, with her level, she wouldn't even be able to see in the Dark Barrier, let alone release the light spell.
But why didn't the light spear cause such an intense reaction at the beginning? Rex thought hard.
"Rex is so powerful!" Nelis stuck out her tongue. She remembered that she wanted to rush in and start a massacre just now. Luckily, she didn't leave the magic chariot. When Salin sensed danger, she only discovered it because of Salin's soul wave. If she was in the building, the explosion would have happened before she could run out.
"Salin, what happened just now!? The princess … "Nania looked at Salin, still in shock. If she hadn't been in the magic chariot, she probably wouldn't have been able to escape. The two construct puppets could actually pull the magic chariot so far before the explosion. It was already faster than the speed of the Wind spell.
Salin was also thinking. He could vaguely feel what happened in the building, but it didn't make sense. It was just two types of magic of opposite elements, how could there be such an intense reaction?
It wasn't that light and dark elements couldn't be harmonized. In spells above level-seven, there were even ways to combine these two types of magic.
The other female mage was also looking at Salin. Salin only reacted after a while. He raised his head and looked at the roof of the chariot. His gaze passed through the roof and found Rex floating in the sky.
Rex also looked like he was in deep thought. He was probably also confused by this strange thing.
"Rex is fine. He's up there." Salin pointed at the sky.
Bifano urged his horse to come to Salin's chariot. Salin didn't allow him to speak and said, "Tell your soldiers to retreat from the castle temporarily. There are still some problems that ordinary soldiers can't handle."
Bifano immediately stopped arguing with Salin. He ordered the remaining soldiers to retreat from the stone statue castle and hide at the foot of the castle wall. In the center of the stone statue castle, an elemental storm finally formed and spread out silently.
Everywhere the elemental storm passed, everything turned to dust. Whether it was stone, wood, metal, or tiles, they all turned to dust as if they had been through tens of thousands of years.
Rex flew even further in the sky. She took out her alchemy telescope to observe. Seeing this, she was finally relieved. The elemental storm was restrained now, and its element was still the corrosion of the dark element. It would dissipate soon.
At this time, Rex didn't think about the soldiers and civilians. It was useless even if he did. Inside the stone statue castle, a vacuum zone with a diameter of more than a thousand meters had formed. This restrained elemental storm moved very slowly, and everyone at the edge had all escaped. None of those who stayed inside were spared.
From the west of the castle, a group of people charged out. More than two hundred soldiers were protecting one person, and they were running west. Rex saw this, but didn't chase. That person was definitely Count Venner. There was no point in killing him.
Count Venner was already scared out of his wits. He had no idea what happened in the center of the castle. After a violent explosion, he was carried away by a mage and escaped the danger zone.
Among the two hundred soldiers, only a few dozen were his bodyguards. However, the remaining soldiers were also scared to death, and didn't plan to betray. To them, this kind of thing was unimaginable.
Most of the regular soldiers had seen mages and observed them casting spells up close. However, those who could perform for them and train them to adapt were all mages below level-3. Even Rex and Salin couldn't understand this, let alone them.
In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, mages could release fireballs or acid.
After more than an hour, the elemental storm finally subsided. Rex landed on the ground. Surrounded by his bodyguards, Bifano suppressed his fear and walked towards Rex.
"The castle is destroyed. We can cross the river now," Rex said calmly, as if what happened just now had nothing to do with her.
"Your Highness!" Bifano raised his voice. Rex looked at him coldly, and said, "You didn't say that this magic building in the city. If you had told me that there was such a thing, I wouldn't have entered no matter how much you promised me. If there was a level-6 mage in that house today, none of us would have been able to escape. "
"I …" Bifano looked around dejectedly. His bodyguards all looked fearful. None of them objected to Rex's words. He knew that these soldiers probably wouldn't have the courage to fight Rex in the future.
Magic! Sooner or later, I'll master this power too.
Bifano shouted in his heart, but his face had already calmed down.
"Your Highness, there should be some undestroyed warehouses in this city. Also, I want to go in and collect the corpses."
