Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant-Chapter 198: Hangzhou in Danger
Chapter 198 - 198: Hangzhou in Danger
On top of the fortress, Zhu Meng glanced at Lu Jun, slightly surprised.
As expected of the appointed National Institute team captain his chain of spells flowed like water, clean and decisive, slaying a Commander-level creature in one go. Many High-tier mages don't even possess such combat power.
And just now... was that Teleportation? It also looked a bit like Shadow Escape—a distorted shadow movement combining both.
He pondered for a moment but didn't dwell on it. Once Cruse Magic reaches High-tier, it can evolve into all kinds of bizarre forms. Dealing with the Monarch-level monster now was the real priority.
At this moment, Zhu Meng locked eyes with the arrogant Silver Sky Lord in the sky. He stepped forward, blocking Lu Jun, and shouted furiously, "Feathered beast, get out of the human city!"
The silver giant eagle heard the voice of the insignificant human and shifted its gaze from Lu Jun to Zhu Meng, revealing a look of scorn in its eyes.
Screech! It spread its wings, vast as hanging clouds, obscuring the sky and casting a massive shadow that enveloped the entire fortress. Its colossal figure was comparable to an entire city.
Next, the dense silver feathers covering the Silver Sky Lord shimmered with specks of light like countless silver stars emerging in the dark sky. But upon closer inspection, they were actually tens of thousands of silver Wind Blades poised to descend!
All the mages were shocked—when it comes to Wind Element Monarch, the wind seed they wield corresponds to Soul-grade or even Heaven-grade. Any casual demonic spell from them is capable of mass destruction far stronger than even Super-tier magic.
If these Thousands of silver Wind Blades were allowed to fall, most of the military mages stationed on the fortress would perish there was no way to withstand that.
"Damn it!"
Zhu Meng's expression shifted drastically. He specialized in Thunder and Fire Elements, both at Super Tier Level 2, and he had even mastered the Transcendence level of power. He also possessed a set of specifically crafted Magic Tools.
In terms of offensive power, he ranked among the top Super-tier mages. His actual combat strength exceeded his cultivation level, which was why he held a status far above ordinary council members.
But on the flip side, his defenses were weak. As for Wind and Earth Elements, they had barely reached Super-tier—just enough for combat. In this short time, it was impossible to construct a proper defense over the fortress.
"Veins of the Earth Dragon!"
Just as the brutal slaughter was about to unfold, a powerful voice roared from the distant sky.
Boom!
Suddenly, the entire fortress quaked. The nearby mountain ranges began to shift—stirring and rising with a deafening rumble, forming a grand barrier of earth that blocked the endless silver Wind Blades outside.
A vast number of razor-sharp blades sliced into the rocky dragon veins, tearing them into fragments, crumbling inch by inch. Dust and sand rolled up into violent storms, turning the air around the fortress murky and chaotic.
Lu Jun turned back to look and saw several figures soaring up from within Hangzhou City, descending rapidly. They were none other than Chief Judge Tang Zhong and the other Super-tier powerhouses.
Atop the fortress walls, all of Hangzhou's Super-tier mages gathered together, pledging to defend the city to the death.
"Well done! Human territory is inviolable!"
Zhu Meng shouted heroically, his voice full of determination. He summoned his Magic Tools, combining them with his Transcendence-level force, pushing his combat power to the extreme.
Heavenly Thunder Palace Armor! Blazing Flame Wings! Thunder Sun Spear!
A pale lightning bolt, without any prior sign, suddenly struck down from the sky, illuminating the entire forested mountain range. It was as if divine retribution had descended upon the mortal world.
The pale lightning was earth-shattering, striking directly onto Zhu Meng. Amidst the dazzling glow, the lightning-clad armor enveloped his bodya majestic Thunder Armor that looked as if it were bestowed by the heavens, sacred and awe-inspiring.
At the same time, a pair of overlapping wings like a sea of fire unfolded behind him. In his hands, he wielded a crimson long spear, entwined with raging purple lightning. He looked like a rising purple-red sun.
"Kill!" he roared as he charged head-on at the Silver Sky Lord at the pinnacle of the sky, engaging in close combat. Several Super-tier mages followed immediately behind him.
Upon witnessing this, the morale of the mages stationed at Xiling Fortress soared. Someone shouted in excitement, "It's Councilor Zhu Meng! So what if the demons have a Monarch? We have Super-tier mages!"
In an instant, the aerial battlefield split into several layers. From top to bottom the highest level was the battle between Super-tier mages and the Silver Sky Lord; the middle level was a clash between High-tier mages and Commander-level monsters; the lowest layer had Basic-tier mage corps casting spells in rotation.
Lu Jun watched Zhu Meng's every move, each spell cast with mastery, filling him with admiration. Though still on the battlefield, he lingered on the edges, moving swiftly, conserving energy while spectating the battle between Super-tier beings.
But the situation was looking grim.
At first glance, the scene created by Zhu Meng and the others looked grand and magnificent with all elements releasing resplendent glows, lighting up half the sky. But in reality, they still couldn't even crack the silver wind domain of the Silver Sky Lord.
The giant eagle remained completely unharmed.
This Monarch was extremely cunning, seemingly very familiar with the combat patterns of human mages focusing on disrupting the greater threats while ignoring the lesser ones. Whenever a Super-tier mage began to concentrate and construct their Star Palaces, it would mobilize countless dense silver blades to attack, breaking the connection between stars.
Since only Super-tier magic could inflict some damage, while High-tier magic was practically ineffective, the battle rhythm was completely under the Silver Soaring Ruler's control, slowly depleting the human mages' mana.
The further one progressed in magic, the more extensive the casting process. High-tier Star Constellations, composed of 343 stars, could still be constructed in two to three seconds. But for Super-tier Star Palaces, with 2401 stars, few Super-tier mages could complete it swiftly.
Only a powerhouse like Zhu Meng, who had mastered Transcendence, could instant-cast self-created magic that met the Super-tier standard and barely pose a threat. He had been holding the main offense all along.
Unfortunately, there was only one Zhu Meng he alone couldn't reverse the tide. Humanity was at a disadvantage and retreating steadily.
"We must not allow the Silver Sky Lord to breach the city!"
Zhu Meng gritted his teeth, growling low. Lightning and fire erupted all over his body as he firmly gripped his spear. His entire form transformed into a flaming arrow, streaking across the sky like a meteor, crashing fiercely into the many air current barriers around the Silver Sky Lord.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion erupted high in the clouds. A fiery streak cleaved through the vast silver vortex. Flame patterns spread outward, surging into a sea of thunder and fire that burned away over half of the pure silver domain.
Yet this was the only achievement the human mages had managed so far.
The Silver Soaring Ruler's outer domain was broken, but it remained composed. It raised its sky-covering wings and gave a powerful flap. The sky instantly dimmed massive clouds tumbled downward, fierce gales swept across the land, evoking a terrifying feeling as if the heavens were collapsing.
In the next moment, Zhu Meng was sent hurtling back at a speed several times faster than his initial charge. He became a meteor streaked in purple and red, falling from thousands of meters above.
Thud! The mountains and forests quaked. A portion of the fortress collapsed. Several walls and streets were instantly obliterated by the impact.
The defending mages were in an uproar, stunned and disbelieving how could a Super-tier mage, a symbol of humanity's supreme magical force, be defeated so quickly?!
A wave of despair blanketed the skies above Fortress.
Buzzzzz!
Surrounded by flocks of White Magic Eagles, the Silver Sky Lord soared above the fortress with a vast expanse of silvery-white clouds. It looked down arrogantly, eyes full of disdain, as if trampling human dignity under its talons.
The path ahead was clear no more resistance remained. Hangzhou's heartland lay exposed, seemingly doomed to suffer the onslaught of the demon horde.
Seeing this, Lu Jun let out a sigh. He was merely High-tier it was far too early for him to take part in a battle of this level. Handling internal threats was already an achievement. As for the external menace, he could only pray that the Black Serpent would complete its metamorphosis soon.
In the ruins of the fortress, Zhu Meng's spear Magic Tool had become a slowly fading flame. The Thunder Armor on his body had saved his life, but it was now shattered and beyond repair.
Councilor Zhu Meng coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. He barely managed to support himself, glaring up at the terrifying Monarch-level demon in the sky, filled with both unwillingness and rage.
This ruler of Xiling was far stronger than they had imagined. Even with several Super-tier mages joining forces, they could not defeat it.
Sharp alarms blared throughout the city. Crimson lights lit up the sky.
All the citizens looked up blankly. Hearing the broadcast, and watching the projected footage of Xiling Fortress, their faces gradually turned pale with fear.
This prosperous land had long enjoyed peace it had never witnessed such a scene.
"Why is this happening? Where are the Super-tier councilors? Stop the monsters, please!"
