910 The City in the Sky End of TMA (2/2)
”How is this happening?”
The clerics looked at each other in shock. The terrifying waves were not gone yet, but why had the divine power circle vanished?
”It's the Nekso Palace!”
”It's Hoffenberg!”
They suddenly realized what it was about. The divine power circle had two control pivots, one located in the cathedral and the other in the Nekso Palace!
”Is he really supporting the sorcerers?” the clerics thought in fear and shock.
BOOM!
An enormous noise broke out in the district of nobles near the Nekso Palace. The clerics looked in fear, only to see a magic tower rising and taking shape quickly under magic effects!
It seemed to have been prepared for a long time, or the magic circles couldn't be completed so quickly!
A magic tower is established in the district of nobles?
The clerics felt coldness to their bones.
BOOM!
A black, spiky magic tower was growing at a visible speed, but Zakley, the saint cardinal of the capital of the Duchy of Calais, could only watch it in shock and fright in the cathedral whose defense had been entirely activated because he saw ”Ceaseless Wind” Raymond standing next to Atlant, the Eye of Curse!
BOOM!
In the capital of the Kingdom of Brianne, in Kasvig, the capital of the city alliances in the north coastline, and in the capital of the Kingdom of Colette, similar magic towers were rising one after another, announcing to the world the return of sorcerers!
As for the grand cardinals of those places (none of them was a legend because those places were not the Church's focus), some were killed, and some managed to keep themselves safe in the cathedrals thanks to the divine power circles. They asked for the help of the Church, but the Church, which was in the middle of a war with the North Church, could only deploy a few legends to them for now. They were outnumbered by the enemy.
The Inquisition of Cocus, on the other hand, had been strewn with bodies.
No, the bodies crawled and rose to their feet again, following Vicente.
Wandering in the Inquisition surrounded by the army of the undead, he saw the appalled ”Crazy Hound” in the inquisitor's office.
”Vicente?” The previous massacre in the town made him know that Vicente was alive and back for his revenge.
Looking at ”Crazy Hound”, the man whose face had been worn out by time, Vicente said coldly, ”You have the honor to be the first offering to revive Shirley.”
As he spoke, ”Crazy Hound” raised his hands and grabbed his own neck. He moaned painfully but could not utter a word.
Then, his body became rigid, and it was stored into a special coffin by Vicente.
...
Sorcerers entered Rentato one after another. Looking at the high magic tower, they had complicated feelings. The magic tower, as well as themselves, could finally show up in public!
On the plain, the vast, boundless cosmos disappeared. A lot of dead bodies were falling, but Douglas was still in the sky. The floating city behind him, on the other hand, began to ascend rapidly!
”He's indeed a monster who has the combat ability of a top legend,” Hoffenberg remarked casually.
From the void, Gregory's voice came out again. ”What do you want?”
At this moment, he had to count on the power of nobles, so he asked straightforwardly.
”The Church's introspection. The Church needs to know its boundaries,” Hoffenberg said so peacefully as if he were just talking about the weather.
”Introspection? Boundaries?” Gregory sounded angry.
”Yes.” Hoffenberg did not back off at all. He softly touched the Sword of Truth next to him with his right hand.
...
The floating city, which looked like an upside-down mountain, flew higher and higher. The buildings in them had all been repaired, and all the cracks were gone.
BOOM!
After it reached the planned location, light burst out, and the floating city shivered up and down softly.
The sorcerers near the plain and in Rentato all watched it with their hearts palpitating, fearing that it might fall.
The quake stopped, and the enormous city floated in midair steadily. The magic stripes and patterns glittered one after another, constructing an invisible rampart!
”It's… It's really flying…”
”That's the floating city…”
The sorcerers covered their mouths in case they cried out aloud. The endeavor that the Magic Empires had never accomplished succeeded in the darkest age! The flying city was also a sign that their rat-like lives had come to an end!
The future might be even gorier, but there would be light!
The clerics, the nobles, and the ordinary people looked at it in astonishment. A city in the sky. Was it the Lord's residence? Then why had it been stolen and occupied by the sorcerers?
Before the floating city, Douglas magnified his voice with magic and announced solemnly, ”This is Allyn, the City in the Sky, and the headquarters of the Congress of Magic!”
His words were short and simple, but all the sorcerers who heard him wept.
