941 Golden Breakthrough Part 2 (1/2)

A grade-9 Professional that was able to create his own rule? It sounded as ridiculous as a grade-1 disciple becoming the Pope.

Imposa did not see the funny side in it. He did not fear Saleen, who possessed the elemental badge, but the golden grand swordmaster would be a big problem. That was because the attacking abilities of a golden grand swordmaster could easily threaten his own safety.

A distance of 200 yards was too short to defend against a golden grand swordmaster, what more one that had already grasped a rule.

Jola destroyed the array and Saleen followed up quickly. Both of them worked together seamlessly, but in actual fact, Saleen had rarely brought Jola along into battles and only brought him along that time around because he knew that there would be danger. A duo of mage and golden grand swordmaster was the best combination.

Saleen was able to complement Jola's actions because he had grasped some soul power. Although the bond between Saleen and Jola was a follower bond, their souls had already become as close as that of soul bonds during the clash. Whatever Jola was thinking of doing, Saleen could already foresee it even before he did it.

Tempest Dragon-mights and Blue Ice Maidens provided wind and water elements. Saleen suddenly flew up and led his elemental creatures past the siege laid by the iron blood warriors.

That was the fastest speed that Saleen had ever moved at. The Blue Ice Maidens had infused the Rainbow spell into Saleen's Quickcloud spell, but unfortunately, the speed was greatly reduced since he was bringing along so many people with him. Gloria, alone, would not need more than three frames of time to reach Imposa.

The reason why Saleen was still so calm and composed was because he still had a secret weapon up his sleeves.

An assassination by grade-10 elemental creatures was probably not something the grade-9 sorcerer would be prepared for.

When Imposa saw Saleen flying out of the encirclement, he laughed coldly. If that golden grand swordmaster had broken through the encirclement and continued attacking, they might have had a higher chance of victory, but instead, they had chosen to waste the elemental creatures' powers to try and escape. They were looking down on Imposa's alchemy spells!

Imposa shifted his legs slightly and all the metal gears moved accordingly. 118 iron blood warriors broke out from the previous formation and got into a formation of a hexagram before ramming hard against the enemy from the rear.

Most magic arrays took the shape of rings because a hexagram was difficult to sustain. It also went against the principle of setting up magic arrays, hence very few elemental mages were fond of using hexagram magic arrays. The attacking abilities of hexagram magic arrays were swift and powerful and could boost the power of weaker spells.

Saleen's stone statue soldiers were all 100 yards tall. They were not capable of flying, but due to their height, they were also dragged into the iron blood warriors' attack.

The sound of the elemental core exploding continued. Behind Saleen, another 20 or so elemental creatures collapsed and were dismantled before returning to the elemental badge. The only creatures that remained unharmed were the 36 Angels of Brightness. The Angels were light-element creatures and would not be affected by physical attacks. If not for the fact that the iron blood warriors' long lances were glowing with red light, the Angels of Brightness would not even care less about them.

The Angels of Brightness looked very similar to Heavenly Angels, after all, the Lord of Glory was trying to replicate the former when he created the latter. The only difference was that the Angels of Brightness wielded light-element chains instead of Swords of Glory.

When six Angels of Brightness were gathered together, they would be able to form a powerful magic array with their light-element chains and unleash a light-element spell. Light-element spell attacks were usually fast. With the ability to manipulate it, Saleen's Angels of Brightness were able to unleash even greater power.

Against the warriors, Angels of Brightness would be more effective than the Midnight Fangs.

When the iron blood warriors rammed towards them in their hexagram formation, Saleen commanded the Angels of Brightness to attack the iron blood warrior that was leading the way. Their light-element chains did not manage to control this warrior, and instead, they were stabbed by the warrior's long lance.

The light-element core exploded into tiny shards and returned to Saleen's elemental badge.

An Angel of Brightness was at least 20 yards tall and both sides were at least four to five yards apart. When the iron blood warrior's long lance attacked, the Angels of Brightness did not manage to dodge, and their elemental cores were stabbed, resulting in the explosion.

It was extremely difficult to stab an elemental core into explosion because the core was the hardest and most resilient part of an elemental creature. Even high-level spells had to be able to find the core's weakness in order to destroy it. The lance did not manage to find any weakness, instead it was because the tip of the lance suddenly became hundreds of times more powerful. All the other iron blood warriors behind him had stacked all their powers together and passed them to him. The Angel of Brightness was unable to withstand the attack.

The hexagram magic array spun in the air as the six-pointed tips took turns to attack Saleen from behind. The elemental creatures were no match for the attack as each iron blood warrior attacked with power that was accumulated from every other warrior as well. Each blow of the blood-red lance was capable of piercing through the core of the elemental creatures.

”Jola, prepare to break the array.” Saleen could no longer stand what was happening. He summoned Gloria, the leader of the Blue Ice Maidens. He pointed at Imposa and said, ”Gloria, kill him!”
