Chapter 983 - 587: One Person Breaks the Army_2
But he didn’t rashly go to the Royal Capital because who knows if the Cardiff Royal Family left any contingency measures countless years ago. He needed to make thorough preparations and then steadily advance toward the Capital City of Dias.
But now, as he looked at the young man below the pass, even though he detected nothing unusual, an inexplicable sense of fear arose in his heart.
And at this moment, that young man raised his head and exchanged a look with him standing at the edge of the city wall.
...
Lis raised his head, scanning the city walls, and quickly found a familiar face.
The portrait of Duke Pa Ao given by Delia bore a seven or eight-tenths resemblance, and most importantly, the unmistakable Gold-tier aura the person emitted.
Found the target!
Lis’s lips curled slightly upward, and he spoke upward:
"Duke Pa Ao?"
Lis’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it clearly reached the ears of everyone at the pass.
"Yes, who are you? Did Delia send you?"
Pa Ao suppressed a slight unease rising in his heart and spoke in a deep voice.
"Of course not."
Lis’s voice flickered, and he appeared in mid-air in front of the pass, looking down at Duke Pa Ao and the soldiers on the city wall.
He nodded with satisfaction; indeed, looking down on the opponent was the best feeling.
Delia’s intelligence was correct, Duke Pa Ao did indeed dispatch the Extraordinary Army’s Fierce Bear Army here.
All the main characters of this performance had arrived; now it was his turn to perform.
High-level Mage!
Pa Ao looked up at Lis flying in the sky, his face gloomy.
He could now confirm that Lis was definitely Delia’s person. After all, the high-level mage heritage of the Cardiff Kingdom was all in the hands of the Royal Family, with very few mages outside, let alone Golden Mages.
"What did Delia send you to do?"
Pa Ao continued to ask Lis.
However, Lis had no intention of continuing to waste words with the other party.
Now he was the villain and had no such chatty quirk.
A Magic Wand exuding a mysterious aura appeared in Lis’s hand. As his deep and prolonged chant resonated, surging Magic Power instantly erupted from his location.
Lis seemed to become the focal point of Magic Power in the world, with the Magic Power in the sky surrounding him like an awakened giant beast, tearing through the peaceful firmament with irresistible force.
The originally pristine white clouds above Kada Pass burst under this surge of Magic Power, expanding explosively, spreading like tides to the distance, covering the sky and dyeing the entire sky with a faint haze.
At the same time, Lis was tightly enveloped by a deep blue-green storm.
This storm was not a product of nature but was condensed purely from the Wind Element. It rotated and roared, releasing an energy wave that made one’s heart palpitate.
In the storm, wind blades as sharp as can be gradually took shape, with hundreds of wind blades flashing with a metallic chill, like the sharpest blades in the world, wielding destructive power and slashing down ferociously toward the pass below.
Duke Pa Ao and the soldiers of the Fierce Bear Army’s pupils contracted; facing the terrifying attack was like witnessing an unparalleled avalanche from the snowy peaks of the Bren Mountain Range, a destructive force they could not withstand.
Under the invincible sharpness of the wind blades, the Defensive Magic Array that lit up above the pass shimmered like a fragile glowworm in the night sky, dimming and extinguishing after just a few moments, dissipating into invisibility.
The Magic Array was the guardian deity of the pass for many years, gathering the efforts and wisdom of countless mages, resisting the Beast tide of the Bren Mountain Range countless years ago, yet now it appeared so vulnerable.
With the collapse of the Defensive Magic Array, the sturdy pass that had stood for countless years, witnessing countless storms and warfare, seemed to suddenly lose all its resilience and pride.
The wind blades, like sharp blades, easily penetrated the sturdy city wall, shattering the once impregnable fortress into fragments like tofu.
Huge stones broke apart, wood chips flew, and the entire pass swayed precariously in the violent tremors, eventually collapsing with a thunderous sound, raising a storm of dust and rubble that covered the sky.
The soldiers’ screams in this sudden disaster were particularly piercing. They attempted to flee or resist desperately, but in the face of this immense power, individual strength seemed insignificant.
The frantic shouts and desperate cries intertwined, quickly drowned out by the rumbling noise of the pass collapsing, as if the earth lamented, or the mountains cried in pain.
When the dust settled, the originally strong pass had turned into a pile of ruins, leaving only broken walls and scattered stones, along with soldiers moaning silently in the ruins, and more buried beneath the rubble.
Even though the soldiers of the Fierce Bear Army were Extraordinary Professionals, they were like children against this terrifying attack, without any chance of resistance.
Lis looked at the completely destroyed Kada Pass below and shook his head slightly.
He didn’t use the Nine Ring Arcane cast in the Capital City of Dias but simply attacked with numerous layered wind blades.
Of course, thanks to Lis’s terrifying Magic Power, the Triple Perfection of the Transcendent Domain [Storm], and [Advanced Wind Element Affinity], [Storm Dancer - Andrew], [Legendary Wind Element Control] specialties, the power he exerted as a Wind Element Mage was greatly enhanced, far exceeding the normal strength of a Golden Mage.
Of course, among the Extraordinary Professionals, only mages had this ability.
If a Golden Rank Warrior with strength similar to Lis took action, dismantling Kada Pass would be no problem, but it would take much longer.
Lis’s Legendary tier breakthrough task only required him to crush a Transcendent army, with no requirement to kill them all.
So Lis did not cast the [Destruction Thunder Domain]; using that terrifying arcane would have left almost no survivors in Kada Pass.
Using wind blades presented fear more directly, and since the soldiers of the Fierce Bear Army were professionals, they could survive being buried under the rubble of the pass if rescued in time.
As for the unlucky fellows killed directly by the wind blades, Lis could do nothing about them.
Death is unavoidable, and the fear brought by blood can help Lis gain control of this small world faster.
However... why is the task still not completed?
Lis brought up the system panel and looked at the "in progress" status of the task, a bit surprised.
Bang!
At this moment, a part of the pass ruins suddenly burst open, and a figure shot out from inside.
It was Duke Pa Ao!
But now he was not in good condition; earlier, he was at the densest point of the wind blade attack, and his clothes were mostly torn, stained with blood, looking extremely miserable.
He looked around, and after the destructive wind blade attack, the entire pass area presented a shocking sight.
The once towering pass had now become a pile of ruins, scattered walls everywhere, with stones and dust weaving into chaos. Even the rolling mountains around were partly erased by this terrifying force, with ruptured mountains and exposed rocks, as if a deep scar had been left by nature here.
Pa Ao looked at Lis, smiled bitterly, and asked:
"Who exactly are you? You can’t be from the Cardiff Kingdom!"
"Are you from Gaia World?"
"Oh, you know about Gaia World?"
Lis looked at Pa Ao with interest, not expecting this Duke to know about the outside world.
"If you were from Delia, I would already be dead, and the Beast tide in the Bren Mountain Range couldn’t have been delayed so long."
Pa Ao stated firmly, believing that with the other party’s strength, dealing with those Beasts would be a simple matter.
"So, are you going to surrender?"
Lis showed some interest in this resolute Duke in front of him.
"Of course not!"
"You destroyed everything I worked for, it can’t end like this."
Duke Pa Ao murmured.
