"Let's not worry about where they are for now. The most important thing right now is to protect the pillars of the Empire below." When Ayermike Cotton saw Han Shuo's murderous look, he guessed that Han Shuo was preparing to immediately find the person who had released the forbidden light magic and kill them all.
If Han Shuo immediately set out to search for the spellcaster, the forces protecting the plaza below would lack an important protective barrier like him. Judging from the power of the forbidden magic, "Radiant Blast", it should have been set up by several experts of the Church of Light. Ayermike Cotton didn't have the confidence to completely protect everyone below.
"Mm, let's first block the power of the" Radiant Blast "so that the people below won't suffer a calamity." With his reminder, Han Shuo immediately reacted and didn't rush to find the person from the Church of Light.
It was strange. Han Shuo's consciousness covered a wide area. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been unable to find traces of the person. However, when Han Shuo sensed the abnormality of the light element in the air above the plaza, he immediately focused his attention, wanting to find out where the perpetrator was. However, he really couldn't find the location of the person. This was somewhat illogical.
"What's going on? Why did the sunlight suddenly become so dazzling? It's making one dizzy and uncomfortable. "
"Mm, I don't know why, but I feel very stifled in my heart. Could it be that a storm is coming?"
Below the plaza, a few nobles who didn't know what was going on used their hands to shield their eyes and look around. These people often didn't know martial arts or magic, but because of their high status, they still instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
As for those experts who were skilled in martial arts and magic, they faintly sensed danger from the abnormality of the light element. However, because the one who had released the "Radiant Blast" was a top expert of the Church of Light, they couldn't tell what was wrong even though they sensed it.
"Something's not right." Although King Lawrence's martial arts was very poor, he also sensed danger from the stifling atmosphere around him.
"I don't know why, but the light element has suddenly become very active." Amyes, one of the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle, cultivated in the elemental energy of light and was already a light grand magus. His brows were tightly furrowed as he sensed some danger from the flow of the familiar light element.
"Your Majesty, there might be danger. Let us send you away first." Candide walked to Lawrence's side and proposed with a bow.
Lifting his head to look at the dazzling sky, Lawrence hesitated for a moment and began to search for Han Shuo's figure in the crowd. However, after making a circle, he discovered that Han Shuo wasn't in the dense crowd. This made Lawrence's heart skip a beat. His many years of blind confidence in Han Shuo had come into play at this time. Lawrence smiled faintly and said calmly, "It's alright. With Brian here, there shouldn't be any danger. Hehe, you see, the ceremony hasn't really ended yet. As the most important guest this time, how can I leave early? "
Candide was somewhat surprised to see that Lawrence wasn't the slightest bit afraid and could even chat cheerfully and wittily with him. He nodded inwardly, feeling that this king was indeed out of the ordinary. Previously, Candide had seen Ayermike Cotton and Graeae arrive. Having a rough understanding of their strengths, Candide felt somewhat relieved. Seeing that the situation was still unclear, he was in no hurry to continue urging Lawrence.
When Han Shuo recommended Pegasus and Graeae to Candide, he had vaguely pointed out their strengths to Candide. With Han Shuo's assurance, Candide believed that the two should truly be as strong as Han Shuo had said. He didn't know Ayermike Cotton's identity, but he did know that Han Shuo had said that Ayermike Cotton was a bit stronger than Graeae and Pegasus. Therefore, when he saw that the two had arrived before him, he felt somewhat reassured.
'Radiant Blast' was a forbidden magic that covered a large area of effect. It used the element of light to create a strong light that sprinkled down. All living things within the light's reach would be killed.
The more powerful a forbidden magic was, the longer it would take for it to be released. This was especially true for the 'Radiant Blast' this time. Perhaps the people who had arrived were aware of how terrifying Han Shuo and the others were. Therefore, the 'Radiant Blast' took a little longer to prepare than usual. As time passed, the dazzling light in the sky grew brighter and brighter. Gradually, the people below could no longer keep their eyes open.
By the time the entire place was filled with dazzling light and the plaza looked as though it was directly illuminated by the scorching sun, the originally calm nobles were now showing signs of nervousness.
The students of the various faculties of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force who had followed their teachers here were panic-stricken. They couldn't help but make a ruckus.
"Heavens, this, this seems to be the precursor to the 'Radiant Blast' forbidden magic of the light element." The person in charge of the Light Academy, Voigtlander, had his suspicions in the beginning. Afterwards, he suddenly recalled the records of the 'Radiant Blast' on an ancient scroll that he had been researching recently. He suddenly screamed.
Voigtlander's scream scared the majority of the people half to death. Not all of these people had strong willpower and were unafraid of death. They all knew clearly in their hearts what forbidden magic meant. As the person in charge of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, Voigtlander definitely wouldn't speak carelessly on such an occasion. Therefore, when they heard his scream, many people began to panic.
"What do we do, what do we do, forbidden magic …"
"Am I going to die here? Heavens, I shouldn't have come. We're finished this time!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please retreat quickly. This really does seem like the 'Radiant Blast' forbidden magic of the light element …"
"… …"
Below the plaza, all kinds of panic-stricken voices rose and fell. Some students who had never seen the world, as well as those nobles who were greedy for life and afraid of death, were all shrieking like ghosts, scared out of their wits.
However, the Lancelot Empire was a country with extremely strict hierarchy. Now that King Lawrence of the Lancelot Empire was here and hadn't left first, although those people were wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves, scared half to death, they could only stare at Lawrence anxiously and didn't dare to flee in front of him.
"Your Majesty, looking at this momentum, it should really be the precursor to the forbidden magic 'Radiant Blast'. This forbidden magic has been brewing for such a long time, its power should be extremely terrifying. Do you think we should leave and lie low for a while?" One of the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle, Amyes, advised Lawrence with a calm face.
At this moment, Lawrence was also a bit afraid in his heart. However, facing the gazes of so many ministers, Lawrence didn't show it. Although he was laughing bitterly in his heart, his face was still calm as he asked Amyes, "If it really is the forbidden light magic 'Radiant Blast', then its area of effect should be extremely large. Do you think we can escape in such a short amount of time?"
Amyes stared blankly for a moment before shaking his head with a bitter smile, replying, "If it really is the 'Radiant Blast', I'm afraid we won't be able to escape even if we immediately escape now!"
"Then that's it. Since escaping is useless, we'll just wait here." Lawrence pretended to be calm as he smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, with Brian here, nothing will happen to everyone." On the podium, Fanny, who had just completed the handover of her position as dean, smiled confidently and didn't seem to be nervous at all.
"Yes, as long as that kid is here, this place will definitely be safe. You bunch of cowards, what's there to be afraid of? Who knows, maybe you'll die because Brian can't take care of you if you run out of this area. " After witnessing Han Shuo's strength, Firenze and Fanny had the same blind confidence in Han Shuo. They looked sloppily and disdainfully at those cowards as they ridiculed them.
With Lawrence saying so, Fanny and Firenze also saying so, those people who were originally trembling with fear and wanted to escape all hesitated. When these people saw that the three of them were staying here so calmly, they pondered in their hearts for a moment before also staying here while trembling. However, they didn't feel confident in their hearts.
"Eh, why did it suddenly turn dark!" While those important figures were pondering in their hearts, a crisp and tender voice cried out in alarm.
Everyone raised their heads to look and suddenly discovered that the glaring light in the sky had unknowingly been covered by masses of dark clouds. Those dark clouds were as black as ink, forcibly blocking the glaring light in the sky that was originally shining with boundless radiance.
Under the clear sky and bright sun, those ink-like dark clouds above their heads were like a huge unrolled painting of the night. They forcibly covered the glaring light, causing the day to slowly turn into a pitch-black night.
At the same time that this strange change occurred in the sky, a sinister and evil aura enveloped the entire plaza. Streaks of bloody light shot out from an unknown place and sank into the ink-like blood clouds. It seemed to be changing the state of the dark clouds, causing them to become even thicker and more solid.
"It's Brian. Don't worry, there shouldn't be any problems." When he saw the streaks of bloody light shooting out from the sky, Lawrence's heart calmed down and he couldn't conceal his pleasant surprise as he cried out.
Having known Han Shuo for many years, Lawrence already knew that Han Shuo practiced an extremely mysterious martial technique in addition to necromancy magic. Lawrence was one of the few people who had seen Han Shuo use demonic magic. When he saw the streaks of bloody light appear, he immediately confirmed his guess. He knew that Han Shuo must have begun to resist the "Radiant Blast" that was about to be successfully released.
"That's right, Brian has made his move." Candide clearly heaved a sigh of relief as he spoke to comfort the crowd.
Those who had a close relationship with Han Shuo, or perhaps had seen Han Shuo in action, were greatly reassured after hearing Lawrence and Candide's words. They had no reason to believe that Han Shuo could eliminate the threat caused by the forbidden magic. On the other hand, the majority of the nobles and students who didn't know much about Han Shuo didn't dare to be so confident. They were still nervously looking all around, ready to defend themselves at any moment.
"It's coming. Get ready!" On top of the bell tower, Han Shuo, Ayermike Cotton, and Graeae had been protecting the surroundings. When he sensed that the "Radiant Blast" had been completed, he suddenly shouted.
