Chapter 590 Siege.
590 Siege.
The moment the epic-rank spear came out of the spatial corridor and flew toward Dimitri's head, he smiled without an atom of panic.
Wind Morph!
At that moment, Dimitri's body turned ethereal as it morphed into the air, causing the spear to pass through without dealing any damage. "His primary element is the wind element?!" The generals were utterly shocked and disappointed as Spectre Dimitri had cast a demigod wind spell. He had been causing so much trouble with the soul flames that everyone assumed it was his primary element. This series of events left the generals dejected as not only did their joint attack fail woefully, but they also lost another teammate in the process. This further tipped the 'balance' in the favour of the members of the League, making the situation even worse as the so-called balance was no different from a defeat since the construction of the array was still in progress. However, the generals didn't get much time to regret their decisions as a massive energy forced everyone to look up to the skies.
…
Seeing that the generals were also losing the fight below, the Commander cursed at the generals for being useless before taking out a golden bracelet artefact and putting it on.
The moment it was equipped, blue veins popped out in all parts of the commander's body as his aura sharply rose to the Perfect Angel stage.
The bracelet artefact increased the strength of the wearer to the next stage, with the limit being the Perfect Angel stage. This meant that even if the commander was in the Perfect Angel realm, his strength wouldn't increase as the gap between the two realms was just too much.
However, the downside was that the body would enter a weakened state and that the effects of the artefact only lasted for 10 seconds, thus making it only useful for final attacks or grand escapes.
'As expected of descendants of Synder, they replace their lack of talent with overpowered toys.' Seraphina thought with furrowed brows as she sensed the rise in aura.
"Today you and your group will pay for the crimes you have committed against the empire." The commander sneered as his mana began stirring up and his body lit up.
Supernova!
Instantly, a blinding white light covering hundreds of miles spread out, quickly followed by a devastating explosion that shook the earth and obliterated everything within its range.
The inhabitants of Willowbrook who were huddled up in their houses felt their homes shake violently as a white light poured through their windows. Terrified, they all took cover and prayed as they felt the heavens had decided to smite them.
After a few minutes, the white light receded and the quakes stopped. The residents of Willowbrook looked out their windows to see cracks in the orange city barrier above them.
"Sacrifices have to be made to attain victory." The commander muttered to himself as his body reformed, but was soon shocked when he noticed that the war barrier was still active and inside it were multiple layers of all sorts of barriers.
The main reason for casting supernova after being amplified by the bracelet was to make sure that Seraphina couldn't escape. Once she was dead, even if the rest were somehow unaffected by the explosion, he would easily wipe them out.
However, the presence of multiple barriers couldn't help but turn his shock into a deep frown.
In a matter of seconds, his worst nightmare came to reality; the barriers went down, revealing the array masters and 6 members of the League in perfect condition with wide grins plastered on their faces.
'How?!' That was the only thought that came to his mind as he saw Seraphina in the midst of everyone.
"Thank you for helping us with your generals." Seraphina projected her voice using the wind element. The moment she guessed what the commander was up to, she activated the fang artefact and teleported into the war barrier where the other members were also present.
Their lives as wanted criminals had made them very sensitive to all forms and types of danger that could come from both friends and foes. So, while the generals were still in disbelief that the commander would sacrifice them, the members of the League below had already made their way into the way barrier.
"Shit!" Without wasting another second, the commander cursed as he immediately shot toward the city.
After using Supernova, his body had reformed for the second time in a week, meaning he had used up all his life-saving skills, thus reducing his chances of defeating Seraphina to zero.
"That was easier than I expected." Lucius said as they watched the commander flee into the city.
"Says the one sitting inside the war barrier the entire time." Seraphina retorted in her regular indifferent tone.
"He played a crucial role in the battle, I must commend him." Dimitri corrected her.
"That's nice to hear." Seraphina replied with a rare smile.
With all enemies dealt with, the members of the League turned their attention to the Array Masters. Apart from the explosion that interrupted them, they had been working with a chilled disposition that would make one think they were in a library instead of the middle of a battle between peak demigods.
Five minutes later, the array masters stepped back and the long-distance warp array lit up. Instantly a portal 20 meters wide appeared, and on the other side were thousands of troops who were waiting. 𝓯𝙧𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝙢
"Set up weapons!" Sea lord Granick commanded as he stepped out of the warp array.
Immediately, the first set of troops rushed out and set up barriers before more poured out and began setting up siege weapons.
In a matter of minutes, the city of Willowbrook was surrounded from all sides by the troops of the Tigeria empire. _____________________________________________________________
