Chapter 361: Chapter 341 Testing and Teleportation

“Boom!”

The thunderous sound of distant artillery fire rose and fell like the whispers of demons, ceaselessly eroding people’s psychological defenses. Each explosion came with the trembling of the earth, as if the whole city was on the verge of collapse amidst the quaking ground.

Citizens hid in sturdy buildings or tightly grasped the hands of their loved ones in basements. Fear and anxiety filled almost everyone’s eyes.

Banyoles City was tightly suffocated in the iron grip of the enemy armies, as if a heart was being relentlessly squeezed by a merciless hand, each beat accompanied by suffocating tension. The air was rife with a mixture of gunpowder and dust, stinging people’s nostrils and fraying their tightly strung nerves.

People gathered together in the shelters, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads as they tensed with extreme anxiety; some hung their heads in silence, their gazes hollow as they tried to suppress the fear in their hearts.

“When will the war end? Mom… I want to go home.”

An expression of confusion and helplessness flowed over a child’s face as they looked up at the adults surrounding them with wide eyes.

The child’s mother remained silent for a long time before finally embracing her child tightly.

“It will end soon. Don’t worry, we will be fine, nothing will happen to us.”

“This city is protected by the Romann family, as you know. Duke Black Iron and the Dark Night clan are the most powerful! No matter who the enemy is, they will emerge as the victors of the war!”

The child continued to ask with a puzzled look, “But didn’t the Duke pass away?”

Everyone’s faces changed, showing signs of waning spirit.

The mother quickly said, “Duchess Ariel, as the daughter of Duke Black Iron, with Lord Aldrich assisting her, can also protect us. Don’t be afraid.”

However, everyone present clearly understood that the now-deceased Duke Black Iron was the object of adoration for countless people in the city, and the old man’s departure had a great impact.

Meanwhile, above Banyoles, the extraordinary powerful experts from both sides had already begun to fight.

Streaks of light fell like the stars themselves, seeming to turn the heavens and earth upside down, with each fighter releasing breath-stopping power, every strike potent enough to shake the ground.

In the sky, Monarch powerful experts streaked across the horizon like shooting stars, their bodies moving at speeds so fast they were nearly elusive.

They used various extraordinary powers, or condensed huge amounts of energy, each confrontation accompanied by thunderous explosions and blinding light.

The earth trembled under the force of the Monarch powerful experts, as if it could crack open at any moment. Houses were easily shattered, trees uprooted, and entire streets turned to ruins.

Amidst the billowing dust, the Monarch powerful experts kept dashing and darting, their figures flickering in and out of sight.

As one extraordinary power after another collided, the resultant energy waves surged like huge ocean waves, engulfing everything around them in an instant, with thunder, lightning, and storms ravaging the area. Banyoles City seemed to have become a giant energy field, with the ordinary Extraordinary Exponents feeling an unprecedented shock and pressure!

Although the battle seemed fierce, Byrne was clearly aware deep down that both camps were still holding back quite noticeably.

So far, no one had used any Forbidden rare artifacts.

It was as if everyone had an unspoken agreement.

“Blood of Salvation” of the Adley Royal Family, Prince Noah, hadn’t even entered the battlefield and was hiding somewhere outside the city.

And the Alchemy Council’s “Spirit Essence,” also known as “Silver Poet” of the Words of Tranquility, Aphrodus, still only sent a mute puppet to fight.

The rest of the nobility each had their own designs, conserving their combat strength without going all out, not using Forbidden rare artifacts.

Because the Monarch powerful experts also had the constant supply of “sustenance” from their armies, there was no immediate risk to their lives.

Byrne’s prediction before the battle was entirely accurate!

The Adley Royal Family had weakened, and a civil war broke out abruptly after the former Cyart King died, causing the prestige of the Adley Royal Family to plummet to rock bottom.

Byrne was very clear that among the nobility, perhaps only Aldrich Romann was truly loyal to the Adley Royal Family.

But now that the Adley Royal Family was manipulated by the Words of Tranquility, whether for the Romann family itself or for the entire Cyart population, Aldrich Romann had to put aside the loyalty entrusted by Duke Romann.

No matter what, they had to defeat the Adley Royal Family!

Byrne and his companions were also constantly on guard against the Wordless Elder, who might not be completely dead yet.

Clearly, that hidden figure was the most terrifying person.

Right then, a voice belonging to “Ghost”, a Monarch powerful expert of the “Ruins Song Spirit” Middell family, echoed from the sky.
