796 Power of the Devil’s Armor Part 2 (2/2)

Saleen did not bother to turn back, as he was able to sense the terrifying power of this particular sorcerer. His would-be assailant was so terrifyingly powerful that the fear it instilled in Saleen dwarfed that when he was facing the Golden Grand Swordmaster. The grade-8 sorcerer he had just killed, felt like an ant in comparison.

”So a mage this powerful was among the Cloudflow people then!”

Saleen thought that the mages of the Qin Empire were the most powerful. Mages of other countries were lacking in foundations and lineages. Not to mention, their conditions for practicing magic were far from conducive. This sorcerer who just showed up however, had Saleen on his guard.

”This must be the guy the winged skeleton talked about! If this guy were to take on Safilos one-on-one, there would be no doubt that Safilos would ended up dead.” Those were the thoughts stemming from Saleen's intuition, and Saleen was not one to rely on intuition. Saleen's intuition had never, even once, betrayed him however.

Saleen landed on the magic tower at three times his usual speed. He only dared to look back at the sky then. He eyes found a black-robed mage, who had just finished dispersing the Endless Night, He looked at the Daliang City below with rage written all over his face.

Saleen's heart pounded wildly, and worried if the black-robed mage would have simply rushed at him. His new assailant did not seem to fear the no-fly zone. Saleen found himself clutching his family badge in his hands, tighter and tighter.

After using up the Eye of Lightning and the Darkness Shield, Saleen had practically exhausted all his magic chord and mental power reserves.

”Saleen, get in,” Lex's voice was heard from inside the eight-floored magic tower.

Saleen did a flip and leaped into the tower below through the window. Lex was the one in control within the eight-floored tower. The magic images showing on the alchemy platform displayed the actions of the black-robed mage in the sky, at a height of more than a thousand yards up.

The black-robed mage raised his staff tall, and seemed to be preparing for a powerful spell. The spell seemed to require quite a bit of time for preparation, as the black-robed mage's mouth seemed to have never stopped moving, chanting the words.

Grade-9 sorcerers were capable of conjuring any spells below grade-8, with the exception of spells that were inherently incapable of being conjured instantly. Grade-9 sorcerers' attacks had always had the reputation of being furious and violent.

”That is not someone we can mess with. Unless the mage dares come down for us, we will simply use three towers to target him, and you attack with the badge,” Lex spoke as she looked at the sorcerer shown in the image. Her head ached.

It was obvious that the sorcerer was furious, and wanted revenge for the dead grade-8 sorcerer.

”I...,” Saleen opened his mouth and found that his vocal chords were hardly working. He had just had a very tense battle. While it did not last long, a great amount of his strength was exhausted. He was also suffering from tremendous mental pressure. He had after all, just killed a grade sorcerer. It was an unparalleled challenge for him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”Some guts you had there. Fighting a grade-8 sorcerer and all that,” Lex glared at Saleen, angry over his impulsive actions that had just taken place. If the grade-8 sorcerer had had any equipment with them allowing them to evade Saleen's lightning attack, it would have been Saleen who would have ended up dead.

Saleen turned a deaf ear to Lex's complaints. He had to find someone to blow off all that steam pent up inside him on. Their palace was wrecked on the very night of their wedding. Then a humongous crater with a diameter of hundreds of yards showed up out of nowhere, turning all buildings within in ruins.

”If something like that ever happens again...”, Lex looked at Saleen, and sighed, ”...remember to take me with you!”

Saleen drank some magic liquid to soothe his throat, as well as to recover some mental power and magic chords. It was only then that he went to sit by Lex's side, ”We will do it together next time.”

The grade-9 sorcerer in the air did not come for them. He had simply kept levitating mid-air and chanted words. Fire elements began to build up in the cloudless night sky, the density was such that it surpassed a common magic tower's.

”This is bad!”, Lex stood up furiously and went over to the center of the tower, fixing six high level magic nuclei on the magic array set in the ground.

Saleen's actions had riled up the other sorcerers in the other towers. Every one of them were now watching the sky. Even the magic towers at the edge of the city began activating their respective magic arrays immediately.

As the gathering of fire elements finished, thousands of fireballs rained down on the ground below.

That was a grade-9 Fire Rain spell. Common Fire Rains conjured about six-hundred fireballs, while the Fire Rain conjured by this sorcerer, brought more than four-thousand fireballs.

The sheer strength displayed by the mage had every sorcerer and grand mage in every tower feeling listless. He was a person, who was capable of taking on every single magic tower!

The fireballs flew into the six magic towers. The Cloudflow sorcerer had chosen not to attack any military camps, which meant that their capacity for reasoning was still intact. The massive fireballs banged hard on the protective shields of the towers. The resulting impacts made all the towers shake violently.

A burning smell spread all over Daliang City, as if the place was purgatory. The defense of the towers drastically reduced. They even began failing to maintain their respective no-fly zones.
