The rolling black clouds kept crashing into the massive Holy City of Henricqal.
Countless black clouds surged, surrounding the entire Holy City into a huge circle.
Inside the circle was a pure white light.
Outside the circle, there were endless Blacktide clouds that looked like monsters hiding in it.
Caw!
A strange shriek suddenly came from the black cloud.
What followed was the incessant flapping of wings.
There were countless black vulture-like birds with four wings on their bodies. All the feathers on their bodies had fallen off, and they relied on some kind of strange power to fly in the sky.
Each of the strange birds was more than ten meters long, and there were so many of them that it was hard to tell how many there were.
They were like dark clouds, piercing through the clouds of the Blacktide and pouncing on Henricqal below.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud thunderclap.
From the city on the ground, a dense barrage of artillery shells was fired.
The artillery shells rushed into the sky at several times the speed of sound, tearing all the monsters they came into contact with into pieces.
The artillery shells exploded into red clouds, burning a large number of strange birds.
Countless strange birds rushed forward without fear of death.
They had long lost their instinct to avoid harm and only knew to rush forward. They brought the Blacktide pollution into the pure city.
Countless cannon fire soared into the sky, and the continuous flames almost dyed the sky a fiery red. He managed to block most of the strange bird troops.
But not all of them could be blocked perfectly. There were about a few hundred strange birds that had slipped in, more or less.
They screamed and rushed to the pure city below.
"Blizzard Phantom Lightsaber!"
In an instant, a pure white sword light shot up from the center of the city. The sword light split in midair, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into hundreds of white sword lights of the same size.
All the sword lights accurately hit all the strange birds that swooped down.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of sharp blades cutting through flesh.
Countless strange birds quickly froze and turned into ice sculptures, and then shattered under the powerful sword energy.
The broken pieces of flesh and ice fell from the sky, and before they hit the ground, they were completely purified by the dense Saint power field around the Sanctum.
With tens of millions of people praying together, even if only a small portion of them were sincere in their prayers, the converted Saint power produced was far more concentrated than usual.
Not to mention that the Sacred Crystal Font was still continuously releasing Saint power.
Kasumi leaped into the air, and a white blizzard swirled beneath her feet to support her.
She raised her head and flew thousands of meters into the sky, then hovered at the edge of the battlefield that was constantly exploding. He looked at the countless strange birds and monsters around him.
At the same time, cleric warriors wearing individual flight equipment took to the air behind her.
Everyone was carrying a single flying device that was a combination of dark energy and Saint power.
This device looked like a silver metal backpack. It could be used to set up levitation arrays and could last for about a day.
Everyone followed closely behind Kasumi, forming a large circle to face off against the monsters around them.
"Pay attention, the artillery barrage is about to end. Next, it's our turn. Now that ammunition can't be regenerated, it's difficult to gather resources. Once the ammunition in storage is used up, we can only rely on ourselves. "
Tenko Kasumi said solemnly.
"Don't worry. None of those who dare to come up are afraid of death!" Her new aide-de-camp was a young blonde beauty.
Her previous aide-de-camp had died in the monster ambush, so it was her turn to take over.
"Get ready." Kasumi noticed that the artillery barrage was getting fiercer.
This meant that the stocks below were about to run out, and she gave them a final reminder.
She raised her Saint power longsword and raised it up high.
The moment the artillery barrage died down.
"Snow Ring Slash!"
The Saint power longsword suddenly shot out a large number of white circular blades, and like snowflakes dancing in the air, they circled around everyone and spread outwards.
Bzzt bzzt bzzt bzzt!
The monsters that had just charged in were immediately sliced apart by the sea of white circular blades.
"Let's go!"
The aide-de-camp yelled as dense Saint power burst out of her as she charged in one direction.
The rest responded loudly as they unleashed their Saint power at the same time and charged in different directions.
Those who dared to come up were at least Oppressor-class elites. If it were any other elite, they would not last more than ten minutes before being surrounded and killed by the monsters due to the inconvenience of flying in the air.
Kasumi did not make another move, and allowed the hundreds of others to fend off the horde of monsters.
She, on the other hand, looked up at the dark clouds in front of her.
There, a massive blood-red vertical pupil slowly appeared, staring at her.
Roar!!!
All of a sudden, a monstrous bird screeched as it tore through the air, shaking the clouds as it roared at Kasumi.
The dark clouds slowly dispersed, revealing the true form of the monstrous bird.
It was a giant black bird with an uncountable number of wings growing out of its back.
There was no mouth, nostrils, or ears on its head, only a massive blood-red vertical eye staring at Kasumi.
Compared to the other monstrous birds, this monster was at least a few hundred meters long, like a floating island.
Before it, Kasumi was as insignificant as a sesame seed.
"You're really …"
"Too noisy!!!"
Kasumi's expression turned savage, as she conjured two Saint power longswords in her hands. Violent snowflakes of Saint power rippled around her.
"I'll kill you!!"
She let out a long roar as she turned into a beam of white light, charging towards the monstrous islander.
…
…
The Steel Lord held a massive greatsword that was as wide as a man's waist, as he looked down from the city wall.
Countless grey monsters that looked like miniature dinosaurs were leaping out from the black waters and climbing up the city wall.
A large number of clerics roared as they swung their weapons, clashing with the monsters.
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and the city wall was littered with the remains of monsters and humans alike.
* Rumble … *
Suddenly, a large patch of black water rose up from the ground, as if something huge was approaching from the black water, crashing into the city wall.
* Hah!! *
Dozens of white holy light formed spikes on the city wall, and shot out, piercing into the churning surface of the water.
The holy light and the tainting power of the black water clashed and corroded each other, and soon exploded, turning into white halos.
But it was futile, as the monstrous object only slowed down, and continued charging towards the city wall.
Some of the grey dinosaur-like monsters that could not evade in time were drowned by the black water, and never resurfaced.
The Steel Lord's expression was grim as he raised his greatsword and took a deep breath.
* Whoosh … *
Specks of red sparks suddenly drifted down from his body.
His white hair seemed to have been completely dyed red, as if it was burning in flames.
The red armor on his body also began to glow red, as if it was a red-hot iron.
The scorching heat wave, with the Steel Lord as the epicenter, spread out in all directions.
