727 Antos’ fury Part 1 (1/2)
The Holy See possessed a divine spell which resurrected bones. The winged skeleton wanted this elemental sorcerer to be completely dead. The winged skeleton grabbed the sorcerer's head using his axe to cut it off. Holding the sorcerer's head, the winged skeleton turned around, and noticed that Cuisi was still walloping the grade-4 mages using his limbs and tail.
A stupid yet effective attack!
Under the insane assault by Cuisi, the five mages were so shaken that their organs had ruptured. The Ice Plate Armor formed by the water element was still present, but the people inside had stopped breathing already.
The Qin soldiers were petrified as they saw an eight yard tall demon waving a mage about. He created hundreds of cavities in the ground, causing a mess wherever he went past.
The body of the sorcerer behind the winged skeleton produced a plume of green smoke as it began corroding neck down and turned into a puddle of blood. Even if Pope Theisio was there he would not be able to save this mage.
A person was only completely dead when their body had been ablated and their soul destroyed.
”Cuisi, let's go!” The winged skeleton bellowed as he hung the sorcerer's head from his belt. He rushed towards Cuisi and grabbed Cuisi's tail. He shook off the grand mage harassing Cuisi, then used the ax to slash the mage.
The Ice Plate Armor, which was already mottled with cracks, was severed by the gigantic ax. The mage inside was sliced into two pieces.
Cuisi's eyes were bloodshot and his tail was about to ensnare the winged skeleton's body, but the winged skeleton gave an abrupt yell. This time around Cuisi's body trembled and regained some consciousness. Scanning the surroundings, he noticed that the large war chariots afar had turned around and were coming over.
He could not fly, if he got besieged by these war chariots he would be severely wounded by the barrage of arrows. He might even die there. The alchemical crossbows from Qin possessed massive lethality, Cuisi immediately tossed the dead mages aside, as his body gradually shrunk.
Cuisi still had not forgotten about hitting the camp commander. Picking up the whip, he stomped on the camp commander's head. This camp commander died a wrongful death. If he dodged and did not use his longsword to counter Cuisi's whip, he would not have sustained such a severe injury in a short while.
Seeing that Cuisi's body was shrinking, the winged skeleton extended his bone wings and grabbed onto the belt of Cuisi's devil armor. They then soared into the sky. Qin soldiers swarmed forward again, but the alchemical crossbows could not adjust their shooting angle in time. The crossbows could only fire upwards blindly, none of the mages could lock onto the winged skeleton's and Cuisi's silhouettes.
An enormous alchemical arrow grazed past the winged skeleton's body and created a fissure in his armor. The winged skeleton secretly heaved a sigh of relief, ”If a grand mage was controlling this alchemical crossbow, I might return with a few holes in my body. I might not die, but Saleen's operation will surely be affected.”
The pan's turtle alchemical boat was still with him, almost all the battles at sea would have to depend on the spirits working for him. Lex did not have many sailors at her disposal because Bitter Water county was landlocked.
The winged skeleton rose into the air with Cuisi in tow and his speed did not seem to be lowered at all. The few people hidden in the midst of the Qin army were helpless. With more than twenty-thousand soldiers there had to be some experts concealed within a main army.
No more than two people could fly, the remaining personnel would not be able to catch up to the winged skeleton.
A siege by a large army would not be able to trap a flying expert unless there were many mini alchemical crossbows nearby to suppress this expert. The alchemical crossbows onboard the war chariots had the strength to destroy normal city walls, but they would not be able to lock onto a tiny dot flying in the air.
The winged skeleton flew at an extremely high altitude, almost reaching one-thousand yards. He drew an arc across the skies, making a beeline for the city tower.
This time around, the operation of executing the sorcerer progressed abnormally quickly. The winged skeleton carried the sorcerer's head and returned to the city entrance. Mu En snapped out of his thoughts, under the winged skeleton's control, he began yelling.
”All of you are crazy people! Your commander has been executed, you should be retreating now!” Speaking, Mu En tossed the head which the winged skeleton had given to him into the air. The sorcerer's head floated across the sky, producing a large shadow and screaming in excruciating pain.
”Master Mu En, please show mercy! I will not do it again…”
”Master please spare my life, please spare my life!”
Six to seven different voices came out of the same mouth. The soldiers, who were thinking of how to breach the city below the city entrance, heard the voice of their commander. They heard the painful moans of the mage who was usually aloof.
Right at that moment, the main forces of Qin afar sounded the horn to retreat.
It was already impossible to continue the war after losing so many mages. If the army still did not retreat, the remaining soldiers there would be killed.
