Chapter 769: Destroying a City

Chapter 769: Destroying a City

Several streaks of “light of soul” began to appear. The first one made the worgens howled very loudly, but when all six appeared, the whole Niyan City became dead silent.

It was just the wolfriders and twenty intermediate priests in Niyan City. After the silence passed, there was soft weeping. The orcs were usually fearless, but they were so afraid when they saw enemies that they couldn’t possibly match.

After killing everyone in his sight, Abel used his “telekinesis” spell to retrieve everything he could. He didn’t use his hands because he didn’t feel touching the scrapes of dead meat that he created. All the advanced priests died in a very messy manner.

Once the war trophies were taken, Abel started checking on them with his power of the Will. He started to realize just how poor these advanced priests were. As it turned out, everyone that came to ambush him was those that didn’t do well. Actually, if they were respected in the Orc Empire, they would’ve never gone to do something as risky as setting him up.

The Orc Empire had already done some analyses on just how dangerous Abel was. From his past record of having killed several advanced wizards, they discerned that he had some sort of secret weapon that allowed him to do so. The secret weapon’s identity remained unknown, but as the advanced orc priests had it, killing Abel would be a very costly thing.

After conducting many discussions, only six advanced priests agreed to come to the group on Abel. They were all rank sixteen. The older ones were stronger, but they also cherished their own lives more.

Anyways, Abel didn’t care nor know about any of that. He just thought that the priests that he faced had nothing good to loot. The bone portal items did have a few things that he was interested in. However, apart from some spell books, some skeleton gemstones, and some poison potions, there wasn’t really much that he cared about.

There was also another reason why these advanced priests were so poor. They had too few things that could save their lives. Some classic items would be the “instantaneous movement” spell scrolls, but they were created by wizards and not priests. Even if the priests could bribe humans into selling them some (not that it was likely anyways), the price was simply too high.

“Damn beggars,” Abel shook his head. As for now, he had to worry about the whole of Niyan City. If any one of them managed to escape here, he would be in very great trouble.

With that in mind, he already told White Snow to fly in the sky. If any of the orcs left, he would know quickly. He could kill all ten thousand orcs if he wanted. Yes, he could if he wanted to do, but committing genocide was not something he would do without guilt. This wasn’t the dark world, and his targets weren’t some hell creatures that he could just kill without any second thoughts.

Abel asked, “Hear me, battle command spirit. I want you to do a scan of this city. Tell me if there are any young orcs here.”

A reply quickly came, “Lord Elder, this city belongs to the military. The only inhabitants are orcs who are capable of fighting. There are no civilians that live here.”

Any remnants of Abel’s guilt evaporated. Everyone was a soldier. Now that they were in the middle of a war, killing and being killed were nothing out of the ordinary.

After putting Johnson, Black Wind, and the spiritual guardian knights into his portal beast ring, Abel jumped on Flying Flame’s back. It might be the first time that anyone’s rode a dragon on the Holy Continent. It was supposed to be something that he should be proud of, but he didn’t want to be hunted by the dragons for the rest of his life, so there was only one way to shut up the orcs that saw him.

Abel called through the soul chain, “White Cloud and White Snow, fly further from where you are.”

From what he could sense, both White Cloud and White Snow were already at very high altitudes. They were all gone from Niyan City, actually.

“Higher, Flying Flame,” Abel commanded once more. Soon, he was about one kilometer from the ground. Even from a distance this far, he could still see the orcs as they faced their imminent end. Some were kneeling. Some just laid flat powerlessly. Some were crying. Some were watching their dead mounts.

“It all ends here.”

After murmuring the words to himself, he took out five super death qi exploding balls from his personal storage box. He didn’t know how strong the effects would be, but since he used perfect red stones to make these, he expected that throwing those would create some sort of death qi cyclone.

A while ago, when Abel was using the super exploding balls, he remembered having to shoot it with his ballista so that the impact wouldn’t catch him. Now that his arm strength was stronger, he could throw all five of them far enough so that they could reach the ground within six seconds. If that wasn’t enough to get him from the explosion range, Flying Flame could still fly him away.

The five super death qi exploding balls flew towards Niyan. The area that they covered was very even. The orcs didn’t think that they would die this quickly. Most of them were still mourning. Some of them were still swearing that they would live to tell the others about the devil that did this to them.

It was the first time Abel’s ever attacked an entire city. He just watched and waited for the explosion to happen.

“Boom.”

The super death qi exploding balls were thrown at the same time. They were also detonated simultaneously, so there was only one noise that could be heard. The buildings flew apart like paper houses. As for the orcs, the closer ones flew in midair before their bodies slammed heavily on the ground. The ones that were further were repeatedly attacked by the broken wall pieces that flew at them. The whole thing took less than a minute. Less than a minute was all that is needed for all the orcs to stop standing.

Just when the surviving ones thought that this was it, chilling energy engulfed the city that they were in. Out of the twenty intermediate priests, at least eight died during the first shock wave.

“It’s death qi! But how? How is there death qi this volatile, this violent?”

This was what an intermediate priest said before blood filled his mouth. He was staring at the grey energy that was charging at him. From his perspective, it looked like a god of death was smiling at him while swinging a scythe.

Countless years and countless dead bones were needed to create skeleton gemstones. Only the most deathly-rich environment could produce skeleton gemstones that belonged to the top-quality. If the quality was good enough, one could even be used to power a large-sized spell circle for years.

So what would happen if five perfect gemstones were to explode at the same time when all of them contained a huge amount of death qi? The answer was here. The answer was what’s happening in Niyan City right now. The death qi swept across the ones that survived and perished all the skins, bones, muscles, veins, organs, and hair. Some tried to scream, but even that seemed to be a luxury.

This death qi treated everything alive as its enemies. Everything alive it came into contact with would become mummies. It sucked away all the life energy in its sight. Soon, bodies were turned into lifeless things that were like old branches that were sucked dry.
