Chapter 97: Wizard (8)

From the side of the hill, a large number of knights, each clad in white armor, suddenly appeared. It was an army from the Knights of Light, numbering 10,000 strong.

Originally, they had been hiding outside the city, waiting for their opportunity to attack. They had planned to wait until the wizards were completely focused on the attack of the city, then attack them with their army within the city, thus defeating the wizards and the Owl Knights in one fell swoop.

Yet, no one could have anticipated that the wizards would use such a powerful combination technique to destroy the city wall. Charles, the Captain of the Knights of Light, who was also one of the Saints, reacted quickly. He immediately rallied his troops, not waiting anymore for the opportune moment, but it was already too late.

The Owl Knights were now only a few hundred paces from the city. As soon as they rushed into the city, with their guerilla tactics and their devastating techniques, death would most certainly rain down upon St. Sarl City, transforming it into hell on earth. Then, not even a cat or dog would be left alive.

After seeing the destruction of the city wall, Leves let out a deranged laugh. He could already see the fear and terror of the believers inside the city.

Leves, who had already been tense on his journey of slaughter, had now fully descended into a state of madness. “Owl Knights, go forth! Don’t leave a single one alive.”

The Owl Knights moved forth quickly in unison, like a single, fighting machine. They were like a neat and organized painting. It looked like an immense black wave, crashing terrifyingly towards St. Sarl City.

The Knights of Light spurred their horses on, chasing desperately up to the Owl Knights. However, it was too late. Charles let out a shout of despair, “No!”

Leves led eight other wizards to the very front. He drew his longsword, heading straight into the city through the hole in the wall. There, amid the smoke and the debris, Leves spotted a blurry figure.

“Who’s there?”

Leves was pondering this question, when he suddenly became overwhelmed with a sense of danger. Leves dismounted in a panic, then immediately controlled his body and flew away. Instantly, a flash of white light flew out, like a wave crashing upon the ground.

Leves had quick reflexes, but three wizards beside him, as well as several dozen of the Owl Knights were unable to react. They all took a direct hit from the white light. Wherever the white light swept past, it seemed as though a sharp blade has sliced through. All of them fell to the ground, cut into two, right down their middles.

Time seemed to have stopped, and no one could react. In a area of a hundred meters, all of the people and horses were in chaos. Many of the horses were terrified, and the army was in complete disarray.

“Agra, Dellas, Blair!” Henry pulled his reins and shouted, while looking towards a spot where a large chunk of ground had just been vaporized. He couldn’t believe his eyes. This power was beyond the Judgement Ray of the previous Saint. The Judgement Ray only had a powerful tearing force, able to rend its enemies in an instant. But the power just now brought instant destruction, annihilating everything in its path! The people who died just now had been erased.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, looking at the three dead wizards. The trio’s bodies were torn into shreds. Two had died immediately, while the other had awakened a life-type talent wailed for a while before finally succumbing to his injuries. From the very beginning of their training at the Wizard Tower, the three had been inseparable. They shared a close bond that went far beyond family.

“They’re dead?”

“How is that possible?”

“Who could have done this?”

The formation descended into chaos, as all of the people were frightened by the unexpected change. The knights retreated in order to reform their formations.

Leves landed, then looked at the figure walking out through the gaping hole on the city wall. The smoke cleared, revealing a tall, slender figure.

The figure before them in a long white robe. It was a woman, yet she was taller than most men. She was over 1.8 meters in height. Her loose robes conveyed a sense of exquisite beauty upon her.

Her feet never seemed to touch the ground while she was walking. She seemed suspended in the air. Her face was covered with a white sun mask that emanated a sense of immense power which radiated in the air. In this situation, all of the wizards, including Leves, could only think of one person: the legendary deity, the kin of God.

“Saintess Kelly of the Church of Light.”

Leves stood in front of the Owl Knights, as thousands of eyes looked at the strange woman in the mask. They could feel distinctly that there was a strange sense of pressure in the space.

The attack from before had been beyond their imaginations, easily decimating a range of a hundred meters. The actual range of the technique was unfathomable. This was an unprecedented amount of mind power!

The dawn sun rose behind the Saintess, lighting up Leves and the rest, bit by bit. As the light of the dawn interspersed with the darkness of night, it was an extraordinary sight to behold.

Sensing the ripples of mind power emanated by the Saintess, which was vast like the ocean, as well as the sun sigil mask on her face, the army could feel a huge formless pressure with her very step forward.

“The Mask of Faross, a divine artifact?”

Leves’s expression changed repeatedly. The army of the Knights of Light were almost here. If they could not deal with the woman and rush into the city, the Owl Knights would be attacked by the Knights of Light outside the city and suffer heavy casualties.

With this woman was blocking the entrance, many people would die if they rushed in forcefully. Leves raised his hand and made a gesture. The other wizards immediately sent out a command. “Archers get ready. Everyone else, surround the city and storm in from the sides!”

The disrupted formations had already reformed, so they immediately moved according to the commands. A large number of knights dismounted and took up the position of archers. Leves wanted to use this tactic to pressure Saintess Kelly. If she moved aside and allowed them passage, then the situation would be beyond her control.

Even the wizards would not face such a shower of arrows. Leves had become a level three wizard. As such, he could defend his entire body with a mind power forcefield. But, even he would be unable to maintain his forcefield under such a relentless attack.

Each of the wizards began preparing new techniques. Leves refused to believe that this Saintess, even with her mask, was truly invincible and could disregard the entire army of the Owl Knights and the wizards combined.

Leves looked at the Saintess who was blocking the entrance, then took in a deep breath. He roared fiercely, “Shoot!”

The sky became covered by the rain of arrows, flying quickly toward the city wall. Leves was determined to force the Saintess off to the side, yet she did not seem to have any intentions of moving.

The arrows descended like rain. But, as they got within a dozen or so meters from the Saintess, they seemed to become bogged down by water. They started moving slower and slower, then completely froze in the air, before falling to the ground.

The soldiers on both sides intersected to surround her. Drawing their longswords, they stared at the Saintess. They had no emotions nor fear, as they only understood and obeyed commands.

They had been destroying everything under the orders of Leves. When they got within a hundred meters of Saintess Kelly, all of them froze immediately, then fell to the ground, dead without any traces of injuries.

As the knights approached, it seemed as if they just dove into an abyss of death. One by one, they died on the spot. It was as if their souls were being devoured. They died instantly, losing consciousness.

To the eyes of the wizards, it was a different world. They saw that the mind power of the Saintess had spread into an area with a radius of a hundred meters, forming a strong force field of mind power. It was as if she had her own spiritual domain, within which, she could control certain laws.

“What is that?”

“What happened?”

“Is it another divine incantation?”

Leves understood exactly what he was seeing, “Supernatural ability, controlling the laws of the world.”
