Zhao Manyan finally understood why Mo Fan sounded so serious on his call.
They felt an enormous pressure after seeing the great pain the undead chain gang was displaying, let alone the sight of the cruel Underworld Monarch Frog's heavy, fleshy body, and its rough skin tied to the chains...
The Underworld Monarch Frog let out an unpleasant cry. The lumps on its body began to expand suddenly. Its chains broke loose as strange Curses of the Underworld surfaced on its skin, and then flew off towards the Yoked!
The Curses imprinted on the Yoked immediately glowed with a bloody red light. They were under great pain just a moment ago, but they had now been released. Their hollow pupils emitted an intimidating light as they stared at the Northguard Fortress!
”Where...where did they come from?” the spooked aide-de-camp blurted out.
No one on the walls was complaining about the Commander's decision now. They had never seen such terrifying creatures. They could not even tell if their magic would be effective against these underworld existences!
They had yet to receive an order. Even their superiors were clueless about what they were supposed to do!
”Sentries, stay alert; attack!” a woman's icy voice echoed throughout the Northguard Fortress.
The sentry towers were set up in different positions, forming an octagon. Each sentry tower was stationed by fifty destructive Mages. When they all cast the same spell, it would activate the Octagon Sentry Formation!
”Wind Octagon Formation!” Commander Bin Wei ordered.
A green light bearing the sharpness of wind rose from the eight sentry towers. The air of the entire yellow land suddenly felt thinner; Wind Patterns appeared one after another above the sentry towers, forming a spectacular, massive octahedral pattern!
”It's a Layering Formation!” Zhao Manyan blurted out in surprise when he saw the giant Wind Pattern.
A Layering Formation was extremely powerful and effective in a battle. Super and Advanced Mages were extremely low in number compared to the rest of the army. However, most Basic and Intermediate Mages struggled to inflict any damage on demon creatures, who usually had sturdy skins and high defenses, even if they were all attacking at the same time. However, a Layer Formation was able to absorb the energy and Star Patterns within the formation and combine them into a single powerful spell!
”Sallow Heaven Tornado!” a captain yelled in the Octagon Sentry Formation. The massive Wind Formation gradually dissipated, replaced by a wind dragon soaring into the sky. It went from covering a circle a hundred meters across to being almost a thousand meters long. It had grown from a young little dragon to a heavenly dragon!
The strong wind swept out fiercely. The Layering Formation had turned the Wind Disc into a spell more than a hundred times larger than an Intermediate Spell. Its strength was comparable to a Super Spell, too!
Zhao Manyan felt a little relieved when he saw the giant tornado heading toward the Yoked charging at the fortress. The defenses of the Northguard Fortress were a lot stronger than he had imagined. They had cast a powerful Wind Spell with the Layering Formation right away!
The Yoked charged forward fearlessly, even when they were facing the enormous Wind Spell. Perhaps they were afraid of being eaten by the Underworld Monarch Frog if they backed off. They would rather charge into battle instead of being digested slowly in the Underworld Monarch Frog's guts.
Killing a living human would ease their suffering a little. The Yoked had long desired to see a living city. They wanted every human in the city to die at their hands, just so they could free themselves from the eternal torture!
