737 Punishment of the God (1/2)
The burning furnace in the hall drove the freezing coldness of the Month of Ice away. Heidi and her friends leaned against their chairs lazily with different books in their hands. They read the books while they enjoyed the special sweet food.
Although magic air conditioners had been installed in their rooms, making the winter warm and the summer cool, Heidi preferred furnaces, because the fire in the furnace brought warmth to her heart. It was the symbol of a real family for her.
”Magic is truly great. I don't worry about getting fat no matter how much sweet food I take…” Heidi patted her stomach in satisfaction. ”Fat Burning” did not only work on the enemy. It was rather popular among the sorceresses when it was controlled well.
Sensing something, she blinked to the side of the window and looked at the high sky, only to discover that shooting stars were passing the sky and falling like rain. It was truly beautiful.
”Look, a meteor shower!” Heidi could never resist such a wonderful view. She exclaimed at her companions.
However, her eyes were suddenly frozen at this moment. According to her knowledge in the horoscope and force field, the landing spot of the meteor shower would be…
”Allyn!” she blurted out.
The sorcerers who observed the stars on the Tower also opened their mouths. Shouldn't the meteor shower land in the Boundless Ocean according to the previous observation and prophecy? After that, a lot of sorcerers would go out and search for the meteorites as materials for their studies and alchemy. Why had the trajectory of the shooting stars been changed, making them attack Allyn like a storm?
”Allyn…” Brook and Hathaway, who watched over the City in the Sky in replacement of Hellen, noticed it earlier than they did.
Brook intended to fly over and shatter the meteorites while they were still in the sky, but the meteor shower was unimaginably huge. Also, since the landing point of the meteor shower had been weirdly changed, he had a terrible feeling and did not recklessly go out to block it.
”Level-one alarm. The defense of Allyn is fully activated.” Hathaway activated the corresponding magic circles calmly. ”We will focus on defense and destroy any shooting stars that might hit Rentato or any populated areas nearby with rays and lasers.”
The weirdness of the matter prompted her to increase the level of alarm. Otherwise, such a natural accident only deserved a level-two alarm at most.
Brook, on the other hand, spoke to his demiplane that remained connected. ”Fully activate the defense circles of the magic towers in the local branches. The supervising legends will expand the range of alarm. The other legends will return to Allyn immediately and be prepared for attack and reinforcement.”
”Try to notify the legends who are out on missions and gather all our forces…” Hathaway added.
The two of them calmly carried out the countermeasures and informed Douglas, Lucien, and the other sorcerers in the northland of the matter.
Gigantic ”raindrops”, in glowing light and leaving a bright trail behind, rushed and smashed at Allyn.
At the same time, an intense fog spread throughout Allyn, making the City in the Sky appear to be in a dream instead of reality.
Glimmering stars rose from the fog and connected each other into a vast starry sky around Allyn. Each of them took up a certain spot and circulated according to specific trajectories, forming different magic circles. Those magic circles then overlapped and integrated into a greater magic circle which boasted terrifying power.
That was the ultimate form of the defense of Allyn.
The ”raindrops” were brighter and brighter as the burning, gigantic meteorites hit the foggy, starry sky brutally.
The stars were even more brilliant, and ripples spread out in the fog, but the meteorite was nowhere to be found.
The raindrops of stars fell nonstop with the world-destroying air. The fog in the defense of Allyn fluctuated, and part of the stars even died out!
Faced with such a pure natural accident, Brook and Hathaway could've adopted another magic effect—anti-gravity and deviation. In such a way, the meteor shower wouldn't be able to cause any harm to Allyn at all. However, such a way of processing would transfer the harm of the meteor shower to the ground, and since the populated Rentato was not far away, they decided to resist it the hard way.
At the edge of the torrential storm, the meteors flew past the defense of Allyn, falling on the villages around and Rentato!
At this moment, in the foggy starry sky around Allyn, a pillar of crimson, thick light suddenly darted out and hit one of the meteors precisely.
Without a sound, the meteor was nowhere to be seen as if it had been burnt up.
Crimson lasers and greenish rays shot out of the defense, destroying all the meteors that might hit the ground.
At this moment, the citizens in Rentato had already discovered that the defense circles of the city had been activated. They looked at the sky in astonishment, only to catch the scene where shooting stars were falling and lasers were darting at them. They were too astounded to say anything. That was ten thousand times more spectacular than the magic battles as described by the bards and the plays!
Even the greatest number of meteors could not power a long-lasting storm. After the first wave, the meteors became sparser. Right when the sorcerers in Allyn were slightly relieved, a shooting star that seemed to be burning its life passed through the atmosphere. The ivory, holy light on the shooting star illuminated more than half of the sky.
The power contained in the shooting star was greater than all the shooting stars before combined. It was like a punishment of heaven and the god!
”Benedict III!”
”Viken…”
Brook, Hathaway, Brook, and Oliver called out different names. Such a powerful attack could have only been launched by a demigod. Even the pontiff of the North Church, who was capable of God's Grace, couldn't have achieved that!
”Elemental Protection!”
”Magnetic Collapse!”
”Annihilation Ball!”
”Anti-gravity Field!”
