Chapter 596: A Ruse To Attack

When Trinity started casting her spell, it was a similarly large but slow rune-forming like the one currently cast by Selena. The difference was the four magic classes by her side did the same. Five large runes were formed together at a similar pace.

Nova, who noticed from afar, jolted to attention. "It… It can't be!"

Queen Magenta also noticed it. "They also acquired a Mega Spell technique book?"

"That's not the problem! There are five of them casting the same spell!" Nova uttered.

"Not possible! How can they possibly get five same mega spell technique books?!" Queen Magenta was similarly alarmed after realizing it.

After Selena gained the mega spell from an S difficulty quest, Wicked Witches had scoured the library searching for info regarding this type of spell. They finally learned that this spell type had a very large range and power compared to normal spells. Its weakness was its requirement for a long casting time. This weakness, however, can be reduced if more casters cast the same spell next to each other. Yet, such a method was highly unlikely considering how rare a mega spell technique book was. Not to mention getting the exact same spell.

Yet, they couldn't deny the reality in front of their eyes.

They wouldn't be able to imagine that Jeanny owned the divine treasure, the Book of Creation. Jeanny had stocked up on mana cores from members' donations to make five copies of the mega spell book. Five she had given to Trinity and another four magic-class players, while the original one was kept inside their warehouse. Ready to be copied again if they had more mana cores to spare.

Although Selena's casting speed was faster. She needed to cast the rune one by one. Trinity Dawn's casting speed didn't lose to Selena, but she adjusted her speed to be in sync with her other four co-casters, hence her rune forming was slower. They could afford to be slower, with the five runes getting formed at the same time, they would surely complete the spell before Selena.

Nova had been sending instructions for her force to barge in and disturb Trinity's casting with whatever means necessary.

Wicked Witches force was doing their best to reach Trinity, but Jeanny had also readjusted their formation to closely protect Trinity. The Nine Stars Formation could be shifted to go all defense if necessary. Their defense is impenetrable under this situation.

The Wicked Witches people watched helplessly as the five runes were completed.

A Mega Spell's weakness of long casting time was balanced by its long-range. Even though Trinity was standing at the back of the formation, the resulting spell took place at the heart of Wicked Witches troops. An offensive mega spell functioned much like an artillery weapon.

When the mega spell came into effect, the temperature around Wicked Witches people dropped to a terrifying degree. All of them within the area of effect shivered from the sudden cold.

Before they could move away, the entire air around them was frozen solid. The area of effect was so large that it covered around a quarter portion of the entire Wicked Witches force. Those that were looking from afar, saw the frozen air shaped into the form of a multi-layered flower, a lotus.

The entire battlefield was still and silent. It was as if they were frozen as well despite not being within the area of the spell.

The Absolute Zero Lotus then broke apart into tiny pieces. Massive damages appeared above those that were caught by the spell.

All the Sentinels in the Wicked Witches team had activated Protection Field when Trinity completed their spell formation, and almost everyone that possessed defensive skills or spells activated them. But even then, almost everyone died. Only those that possessed life-saving tools such as a sacrificial dummy or high-HP and high-defense classes such as Sentinel and Paladin, survived.

These survived ones had their HP at critical and were in frozen status, completely helpless. Jeanny didn't let go of this opportunity, she commanded the range players to focus fire on these players who were at death's door. At the same time, she gave the order for the other magic class to use their second trump card. Jeanny wanted to press on while they were in advantage, pushing for a complete victory.

Selena, who had stopped her casting after seeing she had no chance to catch up with Trinity's casting. Had activated a magic scroll containing the Teleport spell. She teleported further back, thus escaping the mega spell onslaught. When she wanted to return to the front to give support to her comrades, she saw their opponents' magic classes appearing in pairs.

'What are they doing pairing up?' She thought.

Then she saw them casting spells. Astonishingly though, their spell formations combined in mid-casting.

Nova and Queen Magenta also saw that and were equally surprised. Nova had been sending messages to the team to charge at those magic classes, but the team was in shamble due to the Absolute Zero Lotus, they were late in responding to Nova's command.

Many spells were cast, but the spells were either completely different or became a stronger version of the spells they knew.

Mage Knight's Spectral Blade combined with Elementalist's Fireball, created Flaming Edge. Thick sword-like fire energy stabbed out at high speed and cut everything on its path. Ice Field and Mana Beam created Icy Pillars, where several pillars of ice energy erupted from the ground, freezing and damaging anyone caught by the spell. Hellish Explosion and Arcane Turbulence resulted in Chaotic Explosion. Instead of one very powerful blast, the spell created multiple smaller-scale explosions that covered a larger area.

Wicked Witches players who were already in chaos were thrown further into turmoil. Everyone was trying their best to escape from the combined spells, eliminating any semblance of order they still had after the mega spell.

Jeanny then had their melees rushed in to rout their disorganized opponents. Nova and Queen Magenta watched on with pale expressions. They knew then that they had lost.

The other spectators who watched had the same thought.

"What the hell were those spells? How do they combine their spells like that?" Assistant Manager Ironhand uttered.

"Don't know, we will research and experiment on them later," Manager Steelhand replied. "But how can those Wicked Witches women allow themselves to get beaten? Damn! If it is like this, we won't be able to have the chance to execute our plan."

Ironhand received a message at this time, he hurriedly reported to Steelhand. "He has appeared at Saint Edge's Headquarters!"

Steelhand turned to him. Finally, he thought. He then looked at the battle between Everlasting Heavenly Legends and Wicked Witches. Although it was only a matter of time before Wicked Witches lost, it would still be some time. He made a quick thought and finally decided.

"We will proceed!" Steelhand exclaimed. He then sent messages to the other members of the coalition who were present. Ironhand gave a verbal command to their own force. Soon, the mass around them started to move, towards Heavenly Citadel's territory.

This movement didn't escape Jeanny. It was obvious what those supposed spectators were doing. She looked angrily over to where Nova and Queen Magenta were standing.

"You are going back on your words…!!" Jeanny yelled.

Nova was actually taken by surprise as well by the coalition's action. Queen Magenta, on the other hand, was not. She had known all along about the coalition's plan.

"Let's send all our forces in!" Queen Magenta said to Nova. "This is our chance! We can rout the players here while the others take on the main force."

Nova turned to her in disbelief. "You know they are going to attack while we are competing?"

"What's the point of this competition, what we need to do now is destroy them! Cull their power! We cannot let them continue growing unhindered."

"If we do that, Jeanny will never agree to come back to us," Nova uttered.

"What's the point of having that little girl coming back? Let her be wherever she likes. When her guild is gone, she will have no choice but to come back anyway."

"You…"

"Leader, please do not let your emotion cloud our chance. That guild has always been our enemy. We need to crush them while we have the chance."

Nova was frowning deeply as she stared at Queen Magenta. Nova knew that this b*tch had always thought that the leader position should be hers, but she never acted on it. Maybe her socializing in the coalition had made her think that she could challenge Nova's position. Anyway, Nova thought now was not the time to deal with her.

She gave the order, "everyone, attack!"

Jeanny was still hoping to believe that probably her mother knew nothing of the coalition's intention, but when she saw the remaining Wicked Witches players started advancing, she doused that hopeful sentiment.

"Everyone, retreat!" She gave the order. They couldn't afford to continue dealing with these Wicked Witches players while the rest of the coalition tried to charge into their guild headquarters.

Fortunately, she didn't just randomly place the soldiers they had brought. She had messaged Tip to position the soldiers at chokepoints. The terrains surrounding Heavenly Citadel were not that easy to traverse by a large force. Many chokepoints had to be passed through, they had also placed traps on these chokepoints. The problem now was that their force was too far out. They needed to fight while retreating to utilize these chokepoints.

Jeanny looked around as the mass of enemy players started entering their territory and clashed with their players and soldiers.
