The expeditionary army launched an all-out attack, not just on this two-kilometer-wide front line. The remaining tens of thousands of troops had already spread out, stepping up their attacks on the flanks. The front line had spread to a five-kilometer-wide area.
Salin just stared at the golden sword saint's flight path. There was still a distance of one kilometer, and the badge in his hand was already stained with sweat.
Salin, who had always been calm, began to sweat before the battle. Nothing like this had ever happened before. No one would not be nervous. The golden sword saint had flown to the top of the city wall. If he could not kill him, Salin knew that he would lose everything. When his teacher arrived, this place would be in ruins.
Behind Salin, Filet and Lannie were also extremely nervous. They had both seen Prince Sephiroth and understood what the golden sword saint represented. If Salin could not do what he said, they would also die.
Resistance was meaningless. The golden sword saint's combat power and endurance were not comparable to that of a Mage. As for escaping? The couple's flying speed was only a little more than 50 kilometers per hour, and the golden sword saint's short-distance speed was at least three times that of them. Even if they escaped now, it would be too late.
Diabinas's soul fire became weaker and weaker. The power in his soul was drawn away, and the crack on his wrist suddenly widened. With a crack, the bones of his hand fell.
Neris had already freed her hand. When Shika's club hit Diabinas's forehead, Neris's hand had already reached into Diabinas's eye socket.
The king's soul fire was extremely cold. Neris's movements froze, but she still pulled it out and swallowed it.
If the three monarchs had not suffered from the backlash of the contract and lost Banchagana in advance, even the golden sword saint might not be able to kill them immediately when the three scepters united. Salin originally wanted them to resist, but Banchagana suddenly went crazy, so he could only take the lead.
The three killers of the inquisition were followed by two black-robed Mages. Their flying speed was only one-third of the golden sword saint's, and they fell three kilometers away.
Five hundred meters was already the strongest attack range of a level-nine spell. Any closer, and there would not be enough time to open the scroll.
Ferret suddenly unfurled a black scroll and released a level-nine spell, Deep Blue Aria.
Six magic arrays appeared on the ground at the same time, and blue light soared into the sky, enveloping the Golden Sword Saint. Filet's control was beyond Salin's imagination. The first level-nine spell hit the Gold Sword Saint.
Deep Blue Aria was the largest single-target offensive spell, with an attack range of 120 meters. Lannie did not dare to be negligent. She did not think that a level-9 spell could kill a Gold Sword Saint. She immediately unfurled the black scroll in her hand. The ground split open, and a magma-like fire serpent rushed out. This fire serpent was more than two meters thick, and its body was covered in scales.
An unpopular spell of the ninth rank – Wingless Serpent, with an attack range of three hundred meters. This was probably the only level-nine spell that didn't require a mage's guidance and could naturally lock onto the enemy's magical attack. However, this kind of attack was very powerful, and the consumption of Mana Strings was also difficult for a 9th rank Mage to bear.
Usually, a 9th Rank High Mage would be able to cast twelve 9th Rank Spells in a row, but to cast the Wingless Serpent, after one spell, the remaining Magic Strings would only be able to cast 8th Rank Spells, which would consume almost all of their Magic Strings.
The consumption of a level-ten spell and the power of a level-nine and a half spell. No one would be willing to learn such an offensive spell. The level-nine scroll in Salin's hand was obtained from Rafael's Magic Tower. He did not know how such a scroll had appeared. The success rate of writing such a scroll was very low for a 9th rank High Mage.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was facing a Gold Sword Saint, Salin would not have used it. This kind of spell was trash for a 9th rank High Mage, but this scroll was more precious than most level-nine scrolls.
The Gold Sword Saint was also shocked. The sudden appearance of two level-nine spells stopped the Gold Sword Saint's flight abruptly. From the outside, the Deep Blue Aria was just an area shrouded in blue light, but the Gold Sword Saint, who was caught in the spell, saw countless waves of water elements condensed around him, covering the sky and covering the earth.
If it weren't for the protection of the golden sword aura, if it were a silver Sword Saint, his sword aura would be exhausted in about ten seconds, and he would be washed away by the water elements. The worst part was that the attack method of a level-nine spell was completely different. The water elements had the ability to stick, entangle, freeze, absorb, and so on. The Gold Sword Saint's body stopped, and the fire snake under his feet immediately appeared and coiled around his body.
Even if it was not trapped by the spell, the fire snake could still track its target, and its speed was faster than any human flying. The Gold Sword Saint knew that he could no longer hide his strength, so he uttered a short word, "Thunder!"
This pronunciation was a magic word, and it was the oldest magic word at that. As he uttered the word, a strange magic beast flew out of a black bracelet on the Gold Sword Saint's hand. This magic beast looked like a six-winged flying snake, but it had claws, and the surface of its body was black with dark silver patterns.
When the demonic beast saw the fire serpent beneath its feet, a bolt of blue lightning suddenly shot out from its body, directly striking the head of the fire serpent. The fire serpent silently collapsed and fell to the ground, turning into a pile of red rocks that emitted scorching heat.
Then, the magic beast spat out a silver-white ball of light, which cracked in the air. Each crack was filled with silver lightning that danced in the air. The Deep Blue Aria was instantly destroyed.
The Gold Sword Saint was furious. He had almost been injured by two level-nine spells. In his anger, he changed his mind and used all of his trump cards. Originally, he had only wanted to kill a few powerful enemies, then find an opportunity to leave, and leave the rest of the battle to Nicholas.
Now, the Gold Sword Saint's killing intent rose. He wanted to slaughter all the living creatures in the city.
As soon as the Gold Sword Saint's magic beast was summoned, the two black-robed Mages from the Judgement Court behind him immediately stopped, not daring to continue forward. That magic beast did not recognize anyone!
Salin's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. The magic beast with wings was clearly a thunder dragon, but of a higher level. Not only could it survive in the water, but it could also fly!
What level was this thunder dragon? The one he had the three Lords deal with was only level-eight. Was the one that could fly at level-nine or level-ten?
Without giving Salin much time to think, the Gold Sword Saint shouted, "Kill!"
The thunder dragon flying beside him opened its mouth, and a blue lightning bolt tore through space, heading straight for the top of the city. The thunder dragon was aiming at Salin and all the experts around him. Although the lightning bolt was only a meter thick, its killing radius was definitely dozens of meters. If hit, even the white stone city wall would not be able to survive.
Salin only used one Zhen's time to make his choice. The surface of his body violently sprayed out a thick mist. His reaction speed was absolutely fast, but the lightning still hit his body first. More accurately, it was his raised left hand.
Salin's left hand was already withered, and he could barely hold the family crest. The thick blue lightning approached the crest and was immediately absorbed. The remaining electric current was also absorbed by the mist that Salin had released in an instant.
Salin's unique skill, the Cloud Walk, had defensive capabilities. Moreover, Salin had experimented that the Cloud Walk could isolate electric current. The purer the mist he created, the stronger its defense against electric current.
But the lightning in front of him was too terrifying. Even if 99% of it was absorbed by the crest, the remaining electric current still penetrated Salin's mist.
With Salin's hand holding the crest as the center, the remaining electric current wreaked havoc. Dust fell from his withered palms. His palms had been burnt to ashes. But Salin's hand bone was fine. The green hand bone itself was refined by the leaves of the Tree of Life. The electric current crackled on it, but it could not destroy Salin's hand bone.
The Golden Sword Saint saw a thick mist suddenly appear on the top of the city wall in the distance. His thunder dragon's full power strike had been absorbed by the mist, and he could not see what was happening inside.
While he was distracted, an even thicker lightning bolt shot out from the mist and hit his body.
Salin fell, and the mist dissipated. All his power had been taken away by this attack from the crest.
The flying thunder dragon in the sky was also stunned. Then, in the depths of its soul, a lightning bolt lit up, and the brand on its soul was forcibly erased. Even a god could not bear such pain.
Before Salin fainted, he weakly said to Nelis, "Go … and catch that long worm. Even a dead one will do …"
Nelis spread her wings without hesitation and swooped down from the top of the city wall. She saw that the flying thunder dragon had fallen to the ground, obviously heavily injured. Its master had been killed. In the short term, the thunder dragon's soul would probably be full of scars and would not be able to fight at all. If it was allowed to recover, more than half of the people in the city would die.
Shika dragged Salin onto the back of her Battle Soul Skeleton, pulled out a beast tendon, and tied Salin behind her. If there was no other way, she could only escape. The flying method of this Battle Soul Skeleton was different from that of other magical beasts or humans. It could move extremely far in an instant. Shika had relied on this method to escape Banchagana's attack, and at the same time, severely injured Diabinus.
The Feliots were dumbfounded. They saw the Golden Sword Saint release a powerful magical beast that rushed out of the range of a level-9 spell. Then, the magical beast actually spat out lightning! What was even more outrageous was that Salin also released a lightning bolt, which completely obliterated the Golden Sword Saint.
The two of them looked at each other and said to Trish and Zola, who were beside them, "Protect Salin!"
With that, the two of them also flew up and followed Nelis, charging towards the thunder dragon. They were more experienced and knew that the key to the battle was to kill the thunder dragon before it woke up. Otherwise … otherwise, everyone would still die.
Nelis screamed sharply, "Help me block the attack!" Then, she threw herself onto the thunder dragon's body. The thunder dragon temporarily had no ability to fight back. Nelis was afraid that the two level-8 mages would come up and obstruct her from killing the thunder dragon.
