Chapter 610: Changing Situation (1/2)
With the war in the Doa Royal City having come to an end, the terrifying arcane energy fluctuations and arcane power storms had completely disappeared. Only the thick smell of blood and rotten flesh still lingered in the air.
The entire Doa Royal Palace, including the once prosperous Doa Royal City and the underground sewers were turned to ruin. It looked like a slightly sunken rubbish plain.
The surviving arcane masters were cleaning up the battlefield.
“This is......”
An arcane master wearing crimson arcane robe with golden embroidery trembled uncontrollably.
A huge silver skull peeked out from a corner of the pile of rubble before him.
The skull still emitted a unique aura, making the arcane master assume some powerful artifact was buried underneath.
However, it was no artifact, but a portion of the corpse of a pure water type Dragon!
The Water Dragon from House Tyrell!
Rhythmic vibrations came from the ground far away.
The pile of rubble in front of the arcane master collapsed.
He turned around and saw the huge army packing up their tents. His expression showed his grudge.
“Bastards! Those locust-like dirty beings, they should have been exterminated during the Era of the War with Dragons!” He cursed out.
The army preparing to leave while carrying various bottles and boxes was the demihuman army.
The Doa Royal Palace was where the battle was the most fierce and also where most of the strongest arcane masters fell. There should be the highest quality and amount of loot there. However, after the twenty thousand strong demihuman army looted the place, nothing worth of value was left behind. Even at the outer edge of the battlefield were more things of value now.
“Isn’t that a little too much? Without those dirty beings, we probably would have died here, right?”
A chilling voice rang out, “As for looting, they have the priority anyway. At least four Evil Dragon Bishop level existences died at the place they conquered. If in that final push, just two of those four were unchecked, it could’ve changed the entire outcome of the war.”
“Hmm?”
The arcane master who held the grudge turned around and saw an arcane master wearing a purple arcane robe with an acorn symbol on the chest looking at him sarcastically.
“Master of Clan Smallwood, from the Acorn Territory?”
The arcane master’s expression instantly turned cold, “What? An arcane master from such a small Clan dares to provoke me?”
“Hahahaha.”
The purple-robed arcane master suddenly laughed.
“House Lannister, right?” He looked at the golden embroidery of the crimson arcane robe and mocked, “House Lannister can dismiss us as a small Clan. However, don’t forget, it’s different now.”
“......”
The crimson-robed arcane master shook, his face instantly turning pale.
The man’s words and the skull of the Dragon before him made him recall some facts.
“The sacrifices from any House are worthy of respect from all arcane masters. However, you cannot continue to be so arrogant like you used to be. I am already a five-gate arcane master. On this battlefield, there aren’t many who can defeat me. If you’re unconvinced, you may challenge me any time.” The purple-robed arcane master coldly spoke and then left.
The arcane master from House Lannister was drenched in cold sweat.
His hands felt slightly numb.
This war...... is really too tragic.
So many powerful individuals from so many Houses, and even Dragons, have died here.
Even a five-gate arcane master will become a powerful existence in the world of arcane masters from now on.
An indescribable feeling reverberated in his mind.
That feeling reminded him that a great many things would completely change due to this war.
......
“So strong?”
Within the Kingdom of Eiche, three arcane masters from the Office of Special Affairs examined a huge crater with grim expressions.
There were four corpses of arcane masters scattered around the crater.
“This doesn’t look like an attempt to escape. They fought here for a long time!”
“Is that Evil Dragon follower trying to transport Rinsyi’s body to the Evil Dragon or to hunt arcane teams?”
“Even the Fire Fox Team...... We can’t continue to fight her anymore. This Jeriya is definitely more powerful than the average Evil Dragon Bishop!”
......
A mocking voice called out from above the crater, “Say, didn’t you realize that too late?”
“Not good!”
“She hasn’t left yet!”
“What is that arcane skill? Even the arcane energy detection device didn’t notice it!”
The three arcane masters changed their expressions and released vigorous arcane energy fluctuations.
