654 Grade - Ten Lightning Dragon Part 1 (1/2)

The expeditionary army launched an all-out offensive, the offensive was not just confined to the two-mile wide area. The remaining tens of thousands of soldiers had spread out, tightening the assault on both flanks and causing the battle area to expand to an area five miles wide.

Saleen only stared intently at the flying route of the Golden Grand Swordmaster, there was still one mile to go. The badge in his hand was already drenched in sweat.

Saleen, who was usually composed, began sweating before the start of the battle. Such a thing had never happened before. Of course he would be nervous. If Saleen did not kill the Golden Grand Swordmaster when the Golden Grand Swordmaster reached the city entrance, Saleen knew that he would lose everything. Even after his teacher arrived this place would be a wasteland.

Behind Saleen, Fellett and Lanny were also abnormally jittery. They had seen Prince Safilos in person, so they understood what a Golden Grand Swordmaster signified. If Saleen could not accomplish what he had said, they would all be killed.

It was meaningless to resist, the offensive power and endurance of a Golden Grand Swordmaster could not be rivaled by a mage. What about escaping? The couple's flying speed was only about one-hundred miles an hour and the speed of a Golden Grand Swordmaster flying across short distances was at least three times their speed. Even if they fled now, it would be too late.

Diyabannersa's Soul Flame grew increasingly weaker, the power in his soul had been sucked away. The scar on his wrist expanded abruptly and with a crack his arm bone fell off.

Nailisi had already extended her hand. When Sika's cudgel struck Diyabannersa's forehead, Nailisi's hand had already entered Diyabannersa's eye orbitals.

The Soul Flame of a spirit king was extremely frigid, causing Nailisi's actions to be stiff. She still managed to pull out the Soul Flame and swallowed it.

If the three kings were not restrained by the contractual backlash and Banchajanna was not gone, even a Golden Grand Swordmaster might not be able to kill them instantly when the three scepters were united. Saleen had planned to let them hold the fort first, but Banchajanna suddenly went insane, so Saleen had to do it himself.

The inquisition had sent three killers. The two black-robed mages trailed at the rear, their flying speed was only one-third that of a Golden Grand Swordmaster. They landed three miles away.

Five-hundred yards, that was the distance where level-9 magic was the strongest. Any nearer and there would be insufficient time to open a scroll.

Fellett opened a black scroll abruptly, releasing a level-9 spell; the Dark Blue Chant spell.

Six magic arrays appeared across the ground simultaneously as a blue beam charged into the sky, engulfing the Golden Grand Swordmaster. Fellett's control had exceeded Saleen's expectations. The first level-9 spell had struck the Golden Grand Swordmaster.

The Dark Blue Chant spell was a single magic attack with the largest area of effect, this area spanned one-hundred and twenty yards. Lanny did not dare be slow, she did not think that one level-9 spell could slaughter a Golden Grand Swordmaster. The black scroll in her hand was also opened immediately. The earth split up instantly as a magma-like fire serpent charged out. This fire serpent was around two yards thick with clear scales across its body.

An unpopular level-9 spell; the Wingless Serpent spell. It could reach a height of three-hundred yards. This was the only level-9 spell which did not require the guidance of a mage, it could lock onto an enemy's magic attack naturally. The power of this attack was massive, the depleted magic chords would put a strain on a grade-9 mage.

Usually, a grade-9 sorcerer could cast twenty level-9 spells consecutively, however, after releasing the Wingless Serpent spell, the leftover magic chords would only be sufficient for them to cast level-8 spells. The Wingless Serpent spell would deplete almost all the magic chords.

A spell which had the consumption of a level-10 spell, but possessed the power of a level-9 half spell. No matter who it was, they would be unwilling to master such a spell. The level-9 scrolls in Saleen's possession had been obtained from Raphael's magical tower, it was unknown as to why there was only one of such scroll. In writing a scroll like this, even a grade-9 sorcerer would have a low success rate.

If the enemy was not a Golden Grand Swordmaster, Saleen would never use this scroll. To grade-9 sorcerers such a spell was garbage, but such scrolls were much more precious than most level-9 scrolls.

That Golden Grand Swordmaster was deeply startled, two level-9 spells had suddenly appeared, causing his flight to come to an abrupt halt. From the exterior, the Dark Blue Chant spell appeared to be a region encompassed by blue radiance. Being trapped in this spell, the Golden Grand Swordmaster noticed that waves made up of countless of water elements surrounded him, crashing towards him in an overwhelming manner.

Luckily, the Golden Sword Aura would protect one's body. If the target was a Silver Grand Swordmaster, the Sword Aura would have been fully depleted in a dozen seconds and the swordmaster would have been crushed into pulp by the water element. The worst thing was that the attack method of this level-9 spell was totally different. The water element possessed adhesion, entanglement, freezing, suction, and many other abilities. The Golden Grand Swordmaster froze in his tracks. The fire serpent appeared underneath his feet immediately encircling his body.

Even without being trapped by magic this fire serpent could pursue the target and it could fly faster than any human being. The Golden Grand Swordmaster knew that he could not conceal his ability anymore. He simply chanted a word; lightning!

This pronunciation was magic in the language and it was the most ancient form of the magic language. Following the holler of this word, a strange magic beast flew out of the Golden Grand Swordmaster's black bangle. This magic beast resembled the Six-winged Flying Snake, but it had claws and its body surface was pitch black with dark silver patterns.

When this magic beast saw the fire serpent underneath its legs, a bolt of blue lightning suddenly flew out of its body surface, striking the fire serpent's head. The fire serpent was quashed silently. It collapsed to the ground and transforming into a pile of red rocks as scalding heat filled the air.

The magic beast then spit out a bundle of silver light balls. These balls cracked open mid-air and each crack contained silver lightning. The silver lightning danced in mid-air, causing the Dark Blue Chant spell to be destroyed in that instant.
